daltexwave on "RE: Review: Kensington SlimBlade Media Notebook Set"
Also Alt+KeyPadNumbers don't work right. Normal keyboards you just hold down the ALT, then type on the number pad the series for the ASCII char you want and then you lift your finger off the ALT key and the character appears (Alt+161=í). Not so with this one. It doesn't even work in certain text boxes (such as this one) or in other apps works only after hitting enter. VERY annoying! I have to use my laptop keyboard to get this to work. AND their tech support people (Rakesh Dev) basically didn't believe me and basically said if I didn't like it return it. So much for support and upgrades on this!!!

mjs on "RE: Belt drives to eventually replace bicycle chains"
On of the major disadvantages of belt drives on a bike is the fact that belts tend to stretch. This makes them very ineeficient to use compared with chain drives. As such they are only suitable for short journeys on relatively flat terrain. I see nothing in either of the source articles to indicate that anything has been done about this.
The main advantage of abelt drive is, presumably,that you don't need to oil it. As such, they are likely to appeal to short range urban riders who want a "clean" bike. However, this also requires hub brakes to stop brake pad dust, which can be a bigger problem that chain oil. Also, it requires mudguards (fenders) and probably a rear rack. As such, I am not surewho the Trek District would appeal to. Publication date: 2008-09-09more

kev_a_swing_dancer on "RE: Belt drives to eventually replace bicycle chains"
I don't see any of the things mentioned as advantages.
However, having had a landlord who constantly pulled my bicycle out of the basement and into the backyard (safe from theft), I can see a huge advantage to having a "chain" that doesn't rust (and also isn't covered in oil). But then I'd have no excuse for visiting the local bicycle repair school where we do (well, did, in my case) our own maintenance next to some mighty cute women for just a couple of bucks (maybe more nowadays).

kev_a_swing_dancer on "RE: First Windows Vista Seinfeld advert released"
When I saw first saw this commercial, by accident when I switched to the opening NFL game on Thursday, I thought it was god awful. I later saw I had a lot of company in that feeling.
However, having attempted to be a film and commercial actor, I can say that it is very difficult to act badly in the way Bill Gates does in this commercial. Jerry sounds so lousy because he's trying to act bad and he can't act at all but it's funny when he's trying to act well. It has long been the stuff of reviews of cult films that it is extraordinary difficult to have a commercial be so uniformly and evenly (if that's not redundant) bad from beginning to end. I noticed many besides me thought the "leather" reply was the highlight of the commercial and none of us have the slightest idea what it meant or what metaphor it could possibly represent in response to Jerry's question.
Somehow I think Mac and Linux are being mentioned in there. I look forward to the "American Pie"-like analysis (the song, not the movie). Publication date: 2008-09-09more

I saw it on youtube and then i saw it on television about a dozen times this weekend. I wasn't impressed at all. Bill Gates playing the straight man was amusing enough, but Jerry Seinfeld asking him to adjust his shorts and stuff like that just wasn't funny. Yeah, the leather response was probably the highlight.
Overall, I don't think it was very confidence inspiring. A "soft and cakey" OS sounds was to consumer-y anyway. It was basically just a $300M way for MS to tell everyone that they weren't giving up. Publication date: 2008-09-09more

This is by far and away my favorite DDR game. it has quite simply put, the BEST playlist out there. More songs you know, more actual music videos from actual artists, and less of the endless remixes of paranoia and other DDR standby filler music. If the reason you buy a new DDR is to get new music, this is a MAJOR plus, not a detriment as this reviewer said, as the music wont' sound like EVERY OTHER SINGLE GAME you have. And it isn't patheticly sung remixes either, its the real voices of the artists, and often the real music videos.
I don't think I'm alone in wanting familiar music to dance to either - after all there was that "dance factory" game (which, sadly, coudln't find a beat to save its life) - I play this game with friends and everyone I know thinks the music on thie DDR is the best collection they've put out yet. Best yet, to unlock the songs, all you have to do is play the game. No ridiculous stellar mission mode thigns necessary... just get out the game and play and the songs unlock.

Long Term Data Archiving Formats, Storage, and Architecture
I'm thinking about ways to store archival data for the long term
and wanted to solicit anyone who's been down this road for some
input, advice, warnings, etc.
Background
Essentially I'm dealing with a system where "live" and "recently
live" data is stored in a set of
replicated MySQL servers and queried
in real-time. As time goes on, however, older "expired" data is
moved to a smaller set of replicated "archive" servers that also
happen to be MySQL.
This is problematic for a few reasons, but rather than be all
negative, I'll express what I'm trying to do in the form of some
goals.
Goals
There are a few high-level things I'd like this archive to
handle based on current and future needs:
Be able to store data for the foreseeable future. That means
hundreds of millions of records and, ultimately, billions.
Fast access to a small set of records. In other words, I like
having MySQL and indexes that'll get me what I want in a hurry
without having to write a lot of code. The archive needs to be
able to handle real-time queries quickly. It does this today and
needs to continue to work.
Future-proof file/data format(s). One problem with simply using
MySQL is that there will be schema changes over time. A column may
be added or dropped or renamed. That change can't easily be
implemented retroactively on a larger data set in a big table or
whatnot. But if you don't then code needs to be willing to deal
with those changes, NULLs appearing, etc.
Fault tolerance. In other words, the data has to live in more
than once place.
Support for large scans on the data. This can be to do full-text
style searches, looking for patterns that can't easily be indexed,
computing statistics, etc.
It's worth noting that data is added to the archive on a constant
basis and it is queried regularly in a variety of ways. But there
are no delete or updates occurring. It's a write heavy system most
of the time.
Pieces of a Possible Solution
I'm not sure that a single tool or piece of infrastructure will
ever solve all the needs, but I'm thinking there may be several open
source solutions that can be put to use.
You'll notice that this involves duplicating data, but storage is
fairly cheap. And each piece is especially good at solving one or
more of our needs.
MySQL. I still believe there's a need for having a copy of the
data
either denormalized
or in a star
schema in a set of replicated MySQL instances using MyISAM. The
transactional overhead of InnoDB isn't really needed here. To keep
things manageable one might create tables per month or quarter or
year. Down the road
maybe Drizzle makes
sense?
Sphinx. I've been
experimenting with Sphinx for indexing large amounts of textual data
(with some numeric attributes) and it works remarkably well. This
would be very useful instead of building MySQL full-text
indexes or doing painful LIKE queries.
Hadoop/HDFS
and Flat
Files or a simple record structure. To facilitate fast batch
processing of large chunks of data, it'd be nice to have everything
stored in HDFS as part of a small Hadoop cluster where one can use
Hadoop Streaming to run jobs over the entire data set. But what's
good future-proof file format that's efficient? We could use
something like XML
(duh), JSON, or
even Protocol
Buffers. And it may make sense to compress the data with gzip
too. Maybe put a month's worth of data per file and compress?
Even Pig
could be handy down the road.
While it involves some data duplication, I believe these pieces
could do a good job of handling a wide variety of use cases:
real-time simple queries, full-text searching, and more intense
searching or statistical processing that can't be pre-indexed.
So what else is there to consider here? Other tools or
considerations when dealing with a growing archive of data whose
structure may grow and change over time?
I'm mostly keeping discussion of storage hardware out of this,
since it's not the piece I really deal with (a big disk is a big
disk for most of my purposes), but if you have thoughts on that,
feel free to say so. So far I'm only thinking 64bit Linux boxes
with RAID for MySQL and non-RAID for HDFS and Sphinx.

a_brit on "RE: AMD responds, wants you to buy AMD"
For those saying RickGeek is an Intel fanboy, he used to get abuse before Core2Duo about being an AMD fanboy. He might go from extreme's but Rick often highlights things good for a ChipGeek to know.
I'd still buy AMD systems, my laptops are always Intel but I don't see a real problem in buying AMD for a desktop and perhaps to help keep competition going I'd pick them over Intel if they offered similar price for performance systems.
I did recently convince the director for the computer I work for to buy 65 Intel based PC's,onlybecause HP in Australiadidn't offer any AMD systems that competed with the Intel systems. Which is a shame.
Even if AMD went belly up today, their complete systems still on sale would still be good to buy because even if they had a fault the supplier would be responsible for honoring the warranty. Publication date: 2008-09-07more

The article fails to mention that belt-drive requires a completely new frame design. Normally, when one replaces a bicycle chain, the master-link must be removed, or a chain rivet extractor must be used to break the chain. It would be physically impossible to install a chain without disconnecting a link, looping the chain through, and reconnecting the link.
Now let me ask this question: How Do You Find The Master Link On A Drive Belt?
Drive Belts will require that one of the frame tubes (seat-stay) be held in place by a removable bolt.

Id sure like to know if those two PS's of yours worked on your friend's computer. Etiher you got "lucky" and bought a bad PS, or you have an intermittent problem that is going to plauge you and any technician that you send that thing to for a long, long time. If you can check it with your friend's PS again, and it works, try removing the PS and putting it back in again two or three times just to see if it keeps working. If it ever does fail, suspect the connectors of having cold solder joints, or wires as having hairline fractures. My best guess, at this point is going to be cold solder joints...that's assuming the PS you bought is actually good.

Now with that said: It doesn't have to be your power adapter that has failed. It could be the fuse that your power adapter feeds, the jack connections inside the computer, or the reverse polarity diode that the power adapter feeds. If it is that latter, then the power adapter is likely bad as well, usually when the reverse polarity diode shorts, it takes the power source with it. However, if your 'puter still works on battery power, I think it's likely not the diode. If it is the power adapter, several things could have caused it to go depending on where you are, what type of source wiring you have, building maintenance, etc...:
1) Pure dumb luck...bad pn junction (transistor / microchip) inside the power adapter.
2) Power surge from power source (RMS power in Iraq is horrible--I'm waiting for my laptop to blow up in my face!)
3) Poor grounding in the building's wiring system (In Iraq, everything was expedient, and NOTHING is grounded out here--NOTHING, people are getting killed in the showers). (Had a lady in a mobile home next to mine in North Carlolina a couple of decades ago--her trailor wasn't grounded properly, kept blowing her VCR...the only thing that went, but her VCR didn't like her moblile home, so she gave it to me after the 5th timeof me fixingit!)
4) Improper care / abuse. Getting moisture around it or the 'puter, causing current draws beyond what it is capable of supporting.
5) 'Puter with a bad circuit that works, but is drawing slightly too much current, which in turns over works the adapter--'puter will go out soon in this case. Also, this is a one in a million event, but it could still happen. I doubt this is the case, and as such if it were the case, would be the last thing anyone thought of, and would take longer to diagnose due to that.
6) Well, that's about all.
Now, if you're going to try to use these for troubleshooting guides, don't. The best T.S. Guide would be (load)test the output of the adapter. If its truely dead, replace or fix it. If not, have the computer looked at. Publication date: 2008-09-07more

In warrenty or out. I assume out or you wouldn't be asking. This sounds like ***sounds like is a key phrase*** an onboard fuse is gone. Not an easy fix if you don't know discrete components or know how or have the equipment to replace it with. Fuses also generally go for a reason...not always, but generally. If there is a bad fuse, you might have a bad power supply. Sorry for the bad omen here, but that's the way I'm seeing this from here. Hope this at least helps you make a sound decision.

I think the depth and breath of services you get with Pocket Express is one aspect. The interface is easy to use, and content easy to read. The content is great, for example in the news service you get lots of Associated Press articles and the also have this great blog called Reds Blog which cover a whole range of topics and is fun and informative.
There are 12 channels in all covering everything from Travel, Weather, Extra and turn by turn directions. Nearlly all of this is free.

My laptop is about three years old and I currently have broken two ac adapters for it.
The first broke because of neglect and bad habits.
The second now refuses to work and I don't know why. It is an HP adapter compatible with my laptop. It worked for less than a year but it now does not charge my computer's battery. There is no damage or overheating or any evidence of neglect.
I ran out of ideas why it is broken...can anyone suggest an idea or a solution.

Ok, I figured something out...sort of. Well, it doesn't work. If you go to tools, Internet Options, Security tab, Trusted sites, you can ADD a site that (IF I'm correct) will bypass the security check that was stopping it because you've told the system that you trust this site. Well, it doesn't seem to work. In the drill down:
https://www.courses.cnet.navy.mil/StudentFunctions/Login.htm, it ges past the https://www.courses.cnet.navy.mil which it didn't use to do, but it gets hung up at the former now. When I try to add the former, it says that this site is already in the trusted list. Actually, I would thik so too, if you trust a primary site, then all of its subordinate sites should also be trusted, then why does it continue to hang?

WhiteFlower on "RE: Belt drives to eventually replace bicycle chains"
One way of changing the gearing would be:
Have a mechanism with "fingers" that can open the "hand" to adjust the diameter (changing the gearing). (Imaging using your fingers placed inside of the belt and fingers extended outwards to grip the belt).
The issue of distance between fingers compared to distance between groves on the belt can be solved by adding/clicking an extra finger into position with each increment of gearing. The tension in the belt can be kept constant with a wheel that places pressure on the belt. Publication date: 2008-09-06more

If you enjoy taking surveys online, jobslover.com is an ideal way to make a few extra dollars in the privacy of your home. Best of all, Jobslovert will not give out your personal information to its advertisers, so you don't have to worry about getting dozens of phone calls from people trying to sell you everything from health insurance to an online education.
To participate in Jobslover.com, you must be at least 18 years old. Only one person from each family can sign up for the site, but there are many surveys that teenagers can participate in that pay. Family members just need to divvy up the money when it arrives.
Not all surveys at Jobslover.com offer payment. Some of them simply offer a sweepstakes entry. But you are under no obligation to do any survey in which you don't want to participate. Unlike some sites, survey offers are sent to you via e-mail. You are under no obligation to respond to the e-mail if the survey does not interest you and you will not be kicked off of the site.
If you find a survey that offers a cash reward, payment is immediate. Unlike many other online survey companies, you do not have to accumulate a certain dollar amount before receiving payment. The money is sent to you via check and generally arrives within four weeks after survey completion.
You may also be asked to test new products that will be delivered to your door. This is an excellent way for people to try different products that they would otherwise not buy. In most cases, you will be financially compensated for testing the product.
To sign up for Jobslover.com, you simply need to click on the website and hit "join." You will be asked a series of questions, including your telephone number. Jobslover adds a disclaimer that it will not share your telephone number with anyone. Since I joined this website, I have not received any telephone calls from any solicitors of the products I've surveyed.
The surveys are fairly simple and generally take only 10 minutes to complete. The one drawback of this site is that you have to wait a few days to participate in surveys and you can only participate by responding to your e-mail. If you have a spam folder on your e-mail account, you may miss some e-mails, so it is wise to add the website to your general address book.
Throughout the year, various sweepstakes are awarded to lucky prize winners. These range from cash prizes to luxury vacations. If you are lucky enough to win a sweepstakes, Jobslover will notify you by e-mail.
Some of the marketing companies that Jobslover.com represents include the Marketing Research Association, the American Marketing Association, American Association for Public Opinion Research, The Council of American Survey Research Organizations and the Advertising Research Foundation. Unlike some disreputable online survey firms, Jobslover.com is a legitimate marketing website. They will never ask you for any money and are careful to keep your private information private.
If you are just starting to explore the world of online surveys, Jobslover.com is a comfortable place to start. After you join, an e-mail will be sent to your account to confirm your membership. Simply click on the link provided and look for e-mails from Jobslover in your mailbox. You are under no obligation to take any of the surveys or enter any sweepstakes and you can be assured of your privacy.

I had it installed already.
There aren't many sites using Silverlight yet, but I'd guess that the number will grow pretty quickly in the coming months. The Olympics video site was a pretty stunning demonstration of Silverlight's superiority to Flash, and I'm certain that a lot of people took notice. There will now be the inevitable time lag while people ramp up their Silverlight support and complete site development, but it's coming.

Looks like you've got it covered. I would try re-seating the memory (taking it out and putting it back in) and pay close attention to how it goes in. ALSO, with one hand, be sure to touch the bare metal frame of the PC the entire time you touch any circuit card assembly (to include your memory sticks) to reduce the chances of static electrity damage to the chips themselves. If that doesn't work, try using the onboard video, and removing the geforce to see if that might have caused a problem (I doubt it, but dumber things have happened). After that, its going to take someone with more G-2 than I have.

I too had the "dead computer syndrome.

Might just buy a replacement power supply for $35.00 and see what happens. If there is a class action count me in please. I have a second e machines but it will undoubtably be my last if the bad power supply has taken out the mother board. E machines has an obligation to let all us registered customers know when a problem like this exists so we can make the decisiion to proactively replace the power supply beofre failure or take our chances. The class action should be for intentionally withholding information that resulted in complete failure of the computer. John Kay

the Compaq presario 5003US has integrated video; no video card to replace.
You're going to have to go through some troubleshooting steps, but it is just as likely to be the power supply failing on you. Start by looking there, though. Here's a website you can use as a resource: http://www.fonerbooks.com/power.htm

capitalist on "RE: AMD responds, wants you to buy AMD"
I agree that AMD's financial condition is not relevant. Even if they're acquired, their products won't go away.
There are a lot of gamers who can't afford high-end systems, so a review of a mid-range gaming system is certainly interesting. However, it would be much more interesting to see a comparison of two systems in the same price range, rather than a mid-range system versus a high-end one. If you're going to do an AMD vs. Intel review (which would be great), I'd like to request a comparison of the AMD system with an Intel system in the same price range in addition to (or instead of) a comparison with a high-end Intel system.

Smart move. They should never have tried to handle sales themselves; they're not a sales organization. They should also sell to distributors such as Ingram Micro and Tech Data, though.

I've actually found AMD to be more reliable for me than anything I owned by Intel. Whenever I shop for a new computer, I always opt for AMD, or install it myself afterwards. I do a lot more than AIM and Facebook on my current setup, and have never been let down. I actually have a family member who works at Intel, but I'm still content to stick with my AMD.

Just wanted to mention that there are a lot of features of MagicJack that will NOT work on Mac. You can not add contacts, or see recent calls or switch to a headphone set. The Dial Pad is different from the one you see above, in XP has a lot of other features. I've also had problems dialing from an actual phone. From my Mac I can only dial from their pad.
Also worth noting Verizon blocks some calls, so some numbers can not be called from Magicjack.

haanul on "RE: AMD responds, wants you to buy AMD"
I always go for the most bang for the buck. Whether it's Car/CPU/etc. I've used more AMD than any other in my system, because AMD offered most bang for the buck.
The PC's I used consist of the following CPU's.
AMD 386-40Mhz -> I wanted to buy Intel 486-66Mhz; but didn't have the money.
Cyrix 6x86MZ PR166+ -> I wanted to buy Intel Pentium 200Mhz OC' to 233Mhz; but didn't have the money.
AMD K2-450Mhz -> I was tempted to buy Intel Celeron 266Mhz; but didn't because of the total cost including a 440BX.
AMD Duron 1200Mhz AMD AthlonXP 1700+ OC' to 1826Mhz (Throughbred-Socket A)
AMD Athlon64 2800+ OC' to 2250Mhz (New Castle-Socket 754)
AMD Athlon64 X2 4400+ OC' to 3002Mhz (Brisbane-Socket AM2)
Seeking the value is more obvious on the video cards I used.
Tseng ET6000 (This and Matrox offered the best 2D.)
S3 3D Virge (This was the king of benchmarks.)
3DFX Banshee (This was the first 2D+3D card from 3DFX, but was so so.)
nVidia GeForce 4 Ti4200 (The very best bang for the buck for a long time.)
nVidia GeForce 7600GT
ATI HD4850 (Simply WOW. Thank you Red team.)
I believe anyone who wants most performance for their money would buy non-Intel. (I want VIA Nano powered Netbook instead of Atom powered.)
Anyway, now I work in IT, and in position to recommend what to buy. I did recommend Intel-Wolfdale for engineers who run complicated simulations. To them, spending extra a few hundred dollars for little performance gain is worth it, because their salary is high. For all others, (including servers I buy), my choice is AMD. Again, it's because it offers best value.
I am aware that AMD is having a little hard time financially, (like many other corporations). Although I think it's seasonal, I want to buy AMD product even more. That's because I want them to be competing with Intel and nVidia. More competition brings down the price, and gives me more value for the money. Publication date: 2008-09-06more

Matthew, I think you are splitting hairs here.
My entire sense of time has changed, because of the Internet. I want information, connection, answers NOW. Five seconds now feels like a minute. I honestly do sleep with my Blackberry under the pillow, but I've stopped reading it at 3am. I know many people like this . . . I see them in the elevator in the morning . . . looking, scrolling, searching on their BB. We don't speak.
We techno-types want to know what has happened in the last five minutes, as if our lives will be seriously altered by the news.
To keep things simple, the challenge of an addiction is not being able to give it up. We led our daily lives just fine before the Internet. Take that Blackberry away from me, shut down my Internet connection, I am totally stressed. That's what the research confirms. I don't see your point that these human physiological responses are any different from needing a drink. Publication date: 2008-09-06more
SalCan on "RE: AMD responds, wants you to buy AMD"
Interesting post Rick. Some things that I would point out...
1) I don't think that most people are interested in a company's financial position. If the processor works then it works, end of story. It's not like AMD's stock price affects how well their Phenoms work. Something like selling off a fab could possibly have an effect, but until I see any evidence of that it's not something that I'd be worried about. As for AMD lowering quality standards as a result of monetary problems (see first article, "fringe parts that is close to tolerance...") that is troubling but I don't think this is affecting established processors. It might affect cutting edge stuff that just has to get out the door, but if you are buying a value machine I think your are OK.
2) While I'll take AMD's word on the pricing (they wouldn't lie about that) I think their best case is made in the value segment, such as 780G and Puma notebooks. This is in a price range where people don't really care about that hardware they have so long as it runs. We have seen solid performance from their integrated graphics solutions. 790GX has done better than expected, but like you said, the gaming segment is not one whee value plays as large a role, especially when you are dropping over $500 on video cards.
3) Also: QX965= $999. X4 9950 = $289. so that comparison is flawed no matter how you look at it. Chip for chip I don't think anyone at AMD is claiming that their processors are outperforming Intel's. They have moved to a platform approach, which may not be very satisfying for us enthusiasts, but makes sense for a lot of people. Even so, with a Q6600 at $189 right now and the Q9400 at $274 Intel has some more reasonably priced offerings. Publication date: 2008-09-06more

I accidentally posted this on the wrong forum topic, so i'm re-posting it here.
I downloaded and installed the iphone theme from [url]bestiphonetheme.com[/url] and ran into a problem that maybe you could help with. I'm using a HTC 6800 with Windows 6.1, and I installed Wisbar Advance, Wisbar Advance Desktop, and the two iphone theme files. After downloading and running the app, I only can see the iphone theme for the top and bottom bar, but the main "theme" which is the fish scene, doesn't show up...just my regular screen.
Their customer service told me that the problem is the Wisbar Advance Desktop not loading the theme right, but I didn't get a solution from the developer's at Wisbar either.

I spoke with AMD this morning. They are going to correct the title of the video, and they said they would be sending me the identical machine to their video, Phenom X4 9950 + two ATI Radeon 4870s to verify the claims made in their videos, specifically 160% faster graphics (compared to a single ATI Radeon), ability to do 2560 x 1600 at 60fps or greater, and I'll put their equipment up side-by-side with the equivalent high-end Intel machine (as stated in the video) to see if there are any noticeable differences.

ojdidit84 on "RE: Opinion: Who would buy an AMD based computer?"
Personally, I've never had any problems with an AMD system and I've been building AMD pc's since my first Athlon XP 1800+ back in 2004. I currently have an AMD Phenom 9850BE OC'd to 3GHz on air @ only 1.3675 volts on an Asus M3A32-MVP. A fully AMD based system. It runs perfectly fine and I have no lag on my system nor do I have any issues with Vista or my computer crashing. I've never had a computer crash on me. I honestly don't know what people do to their computers for them to crash all the time. Now, I'm not a nay-sayer of Intel. I actually have a core2 laptop from IBuyPower.com and it works great. I agree with number 7 that AMD needs to get to these vendors and salesmen and teach them how to sell their product correctly. Even back when AMD processors were outperforming Intel before Core2, Intel still sold more because they invested a good amount of money into marketing. Who doesn't remember the Blue Man Group Intel commercials? Good marketing goes a long way. And I think that saying you don't feel safe putting and AMD chip in your pc is a little far-fetched. Oh, and a 2.6GHz pc whether it be AMD or Intel is now a low-end computer unless the rest of the hardware doesn't match up to the cpu. Yes, AMD is hemmoraging money out of every asset that they have but a lot of loss of business for them has also come from unfair competition from Intel that has recently come to light in the past few months and the lengths they went to to keep AMD down as in shipping software to crash AMD systems and trying to by out companys to deny AMD any business at all in many countries. All that aside, I've never never had any problem with my AMD system and I'm a gamer but I also don't need 160fps in any game. Intel got it right with the Core2 and now Nahelem is on its way and is supposed to be even more potent so we should wait and see what AMD can do with its 45nm process. At the moment yes, Intel is on top as far as the high end/high performance in which AMD really doesn't exist at the moment but as far as the mid to low range performance per dollar, AMD is perfectly fine. Just think, if AMD does go under which hopefully it won't, we'll be looking at paying outrages prices for Intel technology because with no competitor, the prices will go through the ceiling. And just because your motherboard craps out on you does that mean that the AMD hardware is faulty? And the fact that your notebook take a lickin' and keeps on tickin has naught to do with it being Intel based. It has to do with the good build quality of the laptop, its materials, and other components including the motherboard. If you were to take that same notebook that you have with AMD components, you would more than likely have the same result in durability. It has nothing to do with what cpu it uses. And crashes aren't always attributed to hardware. Anyway, I'm rambling but I made my point. It just seems that on all of these sites reviewing AMD cpu's, they always come up with some bogus garbage like how they could only overclock the cpu that I have to 2.7 @ 1.4 volts @ xbit labs and you've seen my numbers up top. A little more research needs to be done with these labs before writing these articles. I understand that its an opinion but a lot of what was said just didn't add up to me because I run my full AMD system with no problems at all.

ojdidit84 on "RE: AMD responds, wants you to buy AMD"
I'd have to say that when people go out to buy a computer, whether the company is losing money doesn't matter in the slightest bit. All they care about is if its going to work and if it's going to last. And it's also true that the 9650 should perform better than the 9950 since it is on a 45nm process while AMD is on a 65nm process. Also, in the video, they did show what hardware was used at the end of the video so it clearly shows that they weren't X3 and DUO. Gamers are only a small portion of the market and a large portion of them are budget gamers. But hey, it's clear where you loyalty lies and shows in the articles so it's like talking to a brick wall. As there is really no high end for AMD as of yet, in my opinion, in the low to mid range they still perform well especially in comparison with similarly priced cpu's and platforms. We'll just have to see what they can come up with on the 45nm front as well as the core i7. As far as AMD, there's nothing wrong with being second and we do still need competition so we don't see prices shoot through the roof like it most likely would with no competition around. Even if they are the #1 performer at the moment, we still need AMD for our sake even if you're not a supporter of their products.

I learned to play real piano on the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) using the Miracle Piano, an 8-note polyphonic, touch sensitive full-size 5+ octave keyboard with a sustain "pedal", pre general midi instrument sounds and drums, and both NES and MIDI connectors. (Later, there was a PC version.)
It combined real lessons, exercises based on my performance in the current lesson, and a few games that cemented rhythm and note-reading skills. THAT was a useful Nintendo product.
Yamaha made a wonderful plastic sax that could use recorder/flute fingerings and had MIDI around the same time.
That was in the very early 90s. It's 2008 and this is what's being offered? I hope Wii Music at least teaches rhythm.

Cool, but it does NOT support satellite or any external cable box. All of the HD TiVos have neither A/V inputs nor IRBlaster/serial channel changing outputs to support other sources. The new simultaneously-announced DirecTV (DirecTiVo again?) satellite box will be capacity-upgradeable by 3rd parties.
Perhaps it is still possible to do a timed recording on an analog channel (3/4) in standard definition from the antenna out of a satellite box, but that's it. Satellite boxes, AFAIK, can't output over-the-air or cable digital formats.

I agree, this is VERY short sighted. So, Samsung is going to spend all this money on developing these great new HDTVs using OLED, but what is going to play on these great TVs? Broadcast TV is still only broadcast mainly 720p. How are you going to get good content onto these TVs that is true 1080p? And don't say DLC because at the state we are in now, that is complete BS. There is still a good percentage of Americans who don't even have broadband let alone a fast enough connection to download these movies. The people are going to say flash drives. Sure, if 50GB flash drives (or even 25GB at a minimum) costed 10 cents to make. Just the materials would cost more than 10 cents. I cannot see Blu-ray dying in this generation of media formats. I can see that this may be our last disk media. The successor to Blu-ray will probably be flash drives or holographic storage, but this is probably going to be at least 10 years away.

OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 - $94.99 (after MIR)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (Perpendicular Recording) ST3400620AS 400GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s - $64.99

Total plus shipping is $956.85
I left off the case, monitor, keyboard & mouse becasue they will be the same for the other system and their costs will offset each other. And if you're like me, you use the ones you already have instead of buying new ones,because those are the most often upgraded parts of a gaming system. So you see the APPROXIMATE $900 price tag IS ballpark close. Of course $950 would be a CLOSER approximation, but prices change from day to day, or perhaps they decided on DDR2 800 and not 1066 or maybe a smaller hdd. Who knows? I took high end components and still came close to $900. I have a system with a Phenom X3 and an HD 4850 and I play Crysis at 1680 x 1050 and that system is under $700WITH a 22" LCD and high power case included!
And lastly, your final paragraph looks like absolute fanboyism. Everyone knows that AMD has been around for only 1 yr less than Intel and has been beaten down by the Blue Team for years.

Guys (and gals),
Come on. Flaming for the sake of argument is moot. Sure, there are fanboys of every variation. I read some lengthy comments on theregister the other day about this. Apple's OS is arguably more stable in some scenarios and more powerful in some applications than Linux or Windows. However, being that I use all 3 regularly, I think that rule applies to each OS. Windows does many things better than Mac (uh, games?) Heck, even Linux runs games like Countrer-Strike: Source with a bit of configuration. But games are not everything. I sure as hell don't make money playing games. But for things like system administration, Windows takes the cake for my network.
But I digress. All this pointless discussion about who is better than who based on the computer and software you use is just stupid. I know true Apple-heads can be very condescending to members of the 90+% crowd - I used to work for one. But when did personal preference become a standard for judging the value of one's intelligence over another's? So many ideaologies exist today, each with its own convincing arguments. The truth is that each OS has its strong point and being married to one over the other without considering the fact that it might have some flaws that other OSes don't have is missing the whole point of being in IT or design or whatever. You can't have such an open mind that your brains fall out so to speak, but I know in my job I have to be ready to change if something better comes down the pike. Or if something already is better, I need to be able to recognize that and not be blindly biased based on being tied to a specific user group or software just because I want to be part of the 'in' crowd. Come on people. New and better stuff is coming out all the time and you know 10+ years from now we'll all be talking about how much OS X 10.x sucked versus 12.0 or whatever. Fighting over this stuff is pointless.

TX, USA ( Geek ) – September 5, 2008 – There are all kinds of submission services around today, but when you take a closer look at the services they offer and how they conduct business most of these companies may not help the average person at all in getting their website listed throughout various directories and websites.
SubmitEdge is not only a submission service but a SEO firm as well. What does SEO have to do with getting websites listed with quality links in the proper industry? To understand what the search engines desire on any website is the key to hiring ranking and unique links. The only way to achieve such success is with a company that knows the ins and outs of link building and is up to date on the latest search engine optimization skills.
SubmitEdge is that company. This company provides SEO Submission Services with submissions such as directories, articles, search engines, social bookmarking, DMOZ listing, blog reviews, link baiting, and guaranteed Google indexing. Along with these submission services SubmitEdge offers other SEO services such as keyword research, search engine optimization for all the pages of a website, XHTML validation, rank tracking, and PPC managing.
The importance of link building is an essential ingredient for anyone wanting to attract visitors, have their website noticed, and of course, bringing in unique visitors that desire the information or product the website has to offer. Relevant links are the only way in which to accomplish this feat.
SubmitEdge has features that are not available with other similar companies such as manually submissions. This one feature is at the top of the list to ensure the submission is not thrown off to the way side and considered to be spam.

MikaA on "RE: Opinion: Who would buy an AMD based computer?"
To answer your original question: any not-geek presented with one. It doesn't matter if the thousands or maybe even tens of thousands geeks in the world went and bought an Intel one because they can get a frame or two better performance in game XX. What matters are the millions of "normal" people who walk into a store to get "a computer".
What a normal person needs is a computer for websurfing and sometimes gaming. And basically whatever you carry out of a store costing over $200 will do websurfing and over $500 will do gaming. That is it. If it is absolutely imperative to get 168 frames (when 30 is sufficient) instead of 160 when playing, then yes, you need to turn to a geek and buy something specific. But in any other case you simply don't need to know what is under the hood.
And what AMD needs are sales persons willing to sale their gear and not just the competitor and marketing. Sure, it's easier when everyone is polluted with Core this and Core that to just go along with that. People need to understand "the other" brand is just as good - and thanks to ATI gear, in many cases better.
But, I live in Finland where people don't get millions by suing businesses for selling them hot coffee, so this may be a bit too radical for US folks. Obviously "just as good" is not when you can show an ad telling it isn't - and you can sue for billions!

I agree with RickGeek.
Just try doing some multitasking or open some heavy programs on 2 computers 1 with AMD and the other with Intel processor, with the same specs and you'll see the difference.
AMD might claim that their processors are faster, but in no way they have the stability and multitasking that Intel processors offer. Publication date: 2008-09-05more

ee92 on "RE: Opinion: Who would buy an AMD based computer?"
RG, you sound like me 2+ years ago. Back when folks were accusing me of being a raving Intel fanboy. times change
BTW, I'm also writing this on my old single core decrepid AMD FX-57 system.
AMD has been in a death spiral for the last 2 years, loosing $100's of millions per quarter for the last 8-9 quarters in a row. They haven't built a new fab in 3-4 years. Outsorcing their silicon really hasn't helped them much.
2007 profit margin was a whopping -55%, which means they lost $1.55 for every $1.00 they made. Still better then theover -90% profit margin they had in 2006.
God knows how they intend to pay off the >$5B they shelled out for ATI. They've restructured that debt once already, so they're not going to be able to do that again. Their current market cap is ~$3.5,so if they sold EVERYTHING it's likely they still couldn't pay of their debts.
The LARGE numbers are so remarkably negative what we should really be talking about here is how exactly is AMD even keeping the lights on? Where is the money coming from for them to keep operating?
Could you loose 55 cents on every dollar and 1/3 of your networth per year for 2-3 years in a row and still pay your bills?
Also, If you were Dell or HP would you enter into any long term contracts with AMD, knowing they may go bankrupt in any given quarter? I hear HP's server group is, but I think they are nuts and someone is letting their anti-Intel bias make a really questionable business decision.
I thought we'd see AMD cease to exist in 2007, now we're sneaking up on 2009 and they are still going, bleeding every step of the way, but still going. I find this remarkable, and very interesting, how are they doing it?
I'd be interested in knowing how you think they are doing this in light of their finacial numbers. I'd just don't see how they can loose that much for that long and still be in business, obviously I'm missing something pretty significant. Publication date: 2008-09-05more

ShadowPenguin on "RE: Opinion: Who would buy an AMD based computer?"
The average consumer looking for value doesn't care what their processor is. But out of the 3 colleges I've visited lately, I've seen core2 laptops everytime. These friends of mine aren't even tech savvy, they don't even use their laptop to its full potential, but they shelled out the extra dough for an intel. Why? Half ass trained bestbuy sales people who will claim that the intel dual cores are a gazillion times faster for everything. Because God knows that for your facebook and aim usage, an intel dual core is gonna rock an amd dual core -_-
How is AMD going to recover? If they can squeeze out more money I'd say train the people who actually sell their product to plug their product. The average computer consumer will believe what the "trained computer specialist" at their local electronics store is going to tell them. So you've got to make sure that "specialist" says your name or you lose. Publication date: 2008-09-05more

ShadowPenguin on "RE: Dell goes netbook with the Inspiron Mini 9"
It's funny because I was just talking about this with my school's computer programming director. He was all excited because his wife is getting him an Asus eeepc or whatever, and he already has a decently high end HP tablet. And he is just so into the fact that it's tiny and he can just slip it in his bag with such little weight. he seems convinced that it'll make taking notes, blogging, and instant messaging so much easier for him. But from my perspective, the damn things got a battery life of 3 hours, that wouldn't even last through one of my night classes. How is that supposed to be convenient? Sure 8 cell batteries are gonna be developed for it and that might make a difference to me, but as of right now, I don't understand the Netbook craze.

OpenSauce on "RE: Opinion: Who would buy an AMD based computer?"
I build bespoke PC's for business/personal, and all are AMD based.
Why?
Because most want value for money, not ultimate performance.
In my experience, motherboards for AMD are cheaper and/or have more features than ones for Intel (e.g. RAID or decent graphics on newer AMD boards).
This has to be factored in overall build cost.
However, on the laptop front, Intel based ones have the market at the moment. Publication date: 2008-09-05more
capitalist on "RE: Opinion: Who would buy an AMD based computer?"
I agree with OpenSauce that AMD processors are a good choice for mid-range systems. AMD definitely has the advantage in price/performance.
If performance is more of a concern and price is less important, then you should go with Intel.
In my experience, both AMD and Intel processors are stable and reliable. I don't have any concerns about this, and I haven't encountered any "fringe parts" with heat or other problems (aside from known bugs such as TLB).
Of course, it's always a good idea to avoid low-end motherboards regardless of the processor. For example, many of the 780G motherboards are intended strictly for low-end systems and are unsuitable even for the mid-range. 790GX boards are a much better choice.
As to the business end, it's possible AMD will go bankrupt and be acquired, though this seems increasingly unlikely. There's an excellent chance that AMD will merge or be acquired even if they remain solvent, due to general consolidation in the industry. I don't see either of these possibilities as a problem, since an acquirer would almost certainly continue producing processors. The brand name doesn't matter.
I do wish AMD had the cash to make a few strategic acquisitions, though. For example, I'd like to see them pick up a physics solution. Publication date: 2008-09-05more

summerfox on "HELP - need sadvice re best way to get video footage to a customer..."
THANKS IN ADVANCE GUYS - I am purchasing a SONY HDRSR11 Camcorder 60GB and I am wanting to take video footage of used cars on a virtual testdrive and virtual showroom so that I can send it out to potential clients. What would be the best way to get this footage to the client? These were my ideas - yet I need a cheap, yet good quality way of doing this.
1. YouTUBE - yet after spending money on a HD good quality kit I think the youtube viewing quality is quite poor!
2. Set up an area on our website where the cars have the fooatge attached to a model number and still image and when the customer clicks on the link they can see the footage off our site - this has not been built into the website (very simple website too!) and will be quite expensive I would imagine!
3. Send via email? Surely the footage would be toooooo big? Zipping??
Any recommendations are very welcomed!

jeffguy on "RE: Review: LG Rumor for Sprint"
Ok, I want to give a fair review here. I've done a lot of research and spent some serious time with this new phone.
I bought the LG Rumor because it had the keyboard and I am glad I did. It is so much easier to type on the keyboard than the numeric keypad! And I can slide the phone open and closed at any time without effecting what I'm doing. That means I can go back and forth without problems and it instantly changes the display into landscape and back. And it's probably one of the least expensive QWERTY keyboard phones avaliable.
I found some serious drawbacks and some extremely nice work-arounds.
1) Sprint makes you pay for wallpapers (they call them screen savers - which they are not - nevertheless) and ringtones. You can't stick your own in there - not even with a USB cable. And I don't mean just pay for them, you have to pay several dollars for a picture or a 10 second ringtone! And their web interface to buy them is slow and buggy (many links just don't work).
I found a solution to this irritation. Go to mobile17.com and upload your own pictures (jpg or gif files at 176x220 resolution) and ringtones (wave files or midi files) into your phone for free. I did it and it worked great. Even cooler, I made some really great animated wallpapers with my name for my phone for free at reddodo.com and it looks so professional. Just go with the default size and use mobile17.com to upload the animated gif files to your phone. Another solution was to use Windows Movie Maker and ad pictures, videos, and sounds and then upload them to the Micro-SD card (or use a USB cable). You can choose video's as a ringtone or wallpaper but not images, mp3 files, or midi. As a side note, it only has 16 meg on the phone so be careful. I loaded mine up so I have 1 meg left free and it's plenty. Go to "My Content", "", "Memory Status" to see how much memory you've used.
2) It does not come with a memory card or USB cable.
You'll want to purchase a 2 gig (I was told that 4 gig works but is much slower) MicroSD card for under $10. Patriot is a good brand and has worked well for me.
For the USB cable, do a Google search for "lg rumor usb cable" (without the quotes of course). Also, both the MicroSD card and USB cable are sold in stores if you don't want to wait.
3) The headphone jack is mono and all music plays only mono. I wouldn't recommend it for a music player. Lectures or audio books work great. I will say that the speaker isn't too bad and Sprint is offering "Sprint Music Center" application for free and it gives you 10 commercial free radio stations on your phone. That's actually pretty cool.
(Note, you'll have to download it from "Get New Applications" using your phone and make sure it's still free.)
4) If you want to back up your contacts, you have to pay Sprint $10 a month for their contacts backup plan. What a joke.
Instead, I use "DataPilot Software" from DataPilot.com (it's also sold here on Amazon.com) to back up my contacts. A side benefit is that it allows me to get my laptop on the internet (even though it's very slow) remotely using that USB cable. I just got the software but they have a package that includes the USB cable. Be aware that it didn't work for me (AT ALL) until I did the automatic update. I guess they fixed it recently.
5) GPS has issues. The "Sprint Navigation" software is SLOW. When I say slow... I mean slow enough to cause issues. Sometimes, it's so slow, it's just unusable... and for an additional $10 a month, it's a shame. Plus, sometimes the GPS doesn't work at all and I'm in a huge city. When it works, it's awesome.
6) The picture quality isn't so great because you can't adjust the jpg compression and there's no flash so it really needs a lot of lighting. No work-a-round for this one.
Ok... now the good stuff:
Loopt is a cool little application that comes free and it allows you to use the GPS. It doesn't give directions but I made a Favorite to maps.google.com and it works well.
The games are alright... a little pricey for cell games at $5-$7 a pop. I would never "rent" them by month and that seems to be the default - be careful about this when purchasing.
I would HIGHLY recommend downloading the game "Orcs & Elves" by ID Software. It's like a little cell phone version of World of Warcraft (it also has a cheat code - press 3666 while in the menu). Bejeweled and SimCity are pretty slick too and will provide hours of entertainment.
I really like that my phone checks my Google mail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail, and my POP work mail for me. I set all of them up in there. Nice. And it also has Yahoo chat, Microsoft instant messenger, and AOL instant messenger built in.
It's easy to navigate through menus while you are already talking on the phone. That's nice when you first get the phone and can't remember the number. lol
Last bit of advice, you can reconfigure what the main directional keys do and I recommend changing them to what you use. I have mine set up for Games, Voice Memos, Scheduler (built in calendar), and the calculator (which looks nice). Just go to "Settings/Tools" -> "Settings" -> "More..." -> "Navigation Keys" to change it.
Oh... I almost forgot... pick up a cigarette lighter charger so you can charge your phone in the car. You'll be glad you did. I, also, got protective film for my screen and you can't tell it's there.
I really love this phone. The battery is lasting a very long time for me, the sound is clear, and the price is right. Publication date: 2008-09-05more
Patrik59 on "Blue Screen in Windows XP, help"
I just graduated from college and the lap top is built into the tuition. That said, I have none of the program disks, so Windows XP, all the Adobe programs, and all of that were owned by the university. This means if I wipe the hard drive, then I'll lose all software and programs.
I can't start windows in a regular mode. I have Windows XP and an IBM think pad. Everytime I start it up, it gets through most of the boot up process and then a blue screen appears saying that a problem has been found and windows is being shut down to avoid damage to the computer. It begins a physical memory dump that goes for 100 units and then the computer restarts.
I want to avoid wiping the hard drive at all costs. Could someone please direct me in the right direction?

rowantrollope on "RE: Symantec: Norton Internet Security 2009 is"
Hi Matthew,
I wanted to respond to you on your article, and to the other posters here. I am in charge of the development and engineering team who build these products.
I have been with the company since the early days (1991), and worked on Norton Utilities as my first product. My goal since taking over the R&D team in 2007 was to give our users the best Internet Security and AntiVirus product in the industry. My engineering team has worked very hard on that goal, and I think we have made a lot of progress.
WRT performance, I agree with you completely that real-world testing is key. We looked at 16 key metrics this year as our benchmarks, including: boot time, IE launch time, install time, uninstall time, shutdown time, suspend time, resume time, file copy time, HTTP download time, scan time, etc. These were in addition to the metrics we looked at that have perceived impact from the users perspective, including UI launch time, size of files on disk, amount of memory consumed, number of registry keys used, etc. I think users should look at performance testing from real-world 3rd party entities. I would be delighted if you tested our products and reported your findings.
I would also note that our goal this year was that any user installing our product would immediately be able to see the difference in our product performance. This was no easy feat, but our engineers really delivered. I think if you install it, and if any user installs it, they should be able to see the progress that we have made.
To any of the posters/readers here, if performance is important to you, you are free to take a look at our latest 2009 version and judge for yourself.
Best,
Rowan

kev_a_swing_dancer on "RE: Can you live without your DVR?"
With my TiVo and cable DVR, I am always free to go out at night. I'm also always able to take a phone call. TV used to keep me home when live friends were out there.
I can capture some series I think I don't want to miss, and if they accumulate for a year or two (I have 344 basic hours on the TiVo) without being watched, I can release them. It has let me learn to value people over programs.
I do try to watch relevant commercials unless I'm in a serious hurry.
I hate the cost of my cell phone and the challenge of getting the headset on so that I don't experience the intense eye pain and headache caused by holding my CDMA phone to my head.
I envy those people who don't watch any TV. For me, a DVR is the next best thing. (And it sure beats the the hundreds of unwatched VHS cassettes I found I had when I had to move 5 years ago.)
My computer-based attempts have been more time-consuming than VHS. I have all the parts for high def MythTV (Mythbuntu) so I'll see if I can save some cable money since most of my favorite shows are on network TV. Aligning the antenna could put the kabosh on that. (How will people survive HDTV with having to change their indoor antenna for every channel?) All I really need is Boston Legal. (and damn RCN cable for encoding over-the-air HD).
With the cell phone paling in sound quality to a land line, I'm surprised it counts as indespensible "HOUSEHOLD" technology; but I do understand. BTW, I tried the ThinkGeek wired classic handset (like a phone from the 1960s) and its microphone quality was poor. Publication date: 2008-09-04more

The Perl UTF-8 and utf8 Encoding Mess
I've been hacking on some Perl code that extracts data that comes
from web users around the world and been stored
into MySQL (with no
real encoding information, of course). My goal it to generate
well-formed, valid XML that can be read
by another tool.
Now I'll be the first to admit that I never really took the time to
like, understand, or pay much attention to all the changes in Perl's
character and byte handling over the years. I'm one of those
developers that, I suspect, is representative of the majority (at
least in this self-centered country). I think it's all stupid and
complicated and should Just Work... somehow.
But at the same time I know it's not.
Anyway, after importing lots of data I came across my first bug.
Well, okay... not my first bug. My first bug related to this
encoding stuff. The XML parser on
the receiving end raised hell about some weird characters coming
in.
Oh, crap. That's right. This is the big bad Internet and I forgot
to do anything to scrub the data so that it'd look like the sort of
thing you can cram into XML and expect to maybe work.
A little searching around managed to jog my memory and I updated my
code to include something like this:
use Encode;
...
my $data = Encode::decode('utf8', $row->{'Stuff'});
And all was well for quite some time. I got a lot farther with
that until this weekend when Perl itself began to blow up on me,
throwing fatal exceptions like this:
Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal) ...
My first reaction, like yours probably, was WTF?!?! How on god's
green earth is this a FATAL error?
After much
swearing, a
Twitter plea, and some reading (thanks Twitter world!), I came
across a section of
the Encode manual page
from Perl.
I'm going to quote from it a fair amount here because I know you're
as lazy as I am and won't go read it if I just link here. The
relevant section is at the very end (just before SEE ALSO) and
titled UTF-8 vs. utf8.
....We now view strings not as sequences of bytes, but as
sequences of numbers in the range 0 .. 2**32‐1 (or in the case of
64‐bit computers, 0 .. 2**64‐1) ‐‐ Programming Perl, 3rd ed.
That has been the perl?s notion of UTF−8 but official UTF−8 is more
strict; Its ranges is much narrower (0 .. 10FFFF), some sequences
are not allowed (i.e. Those used in the surrogate pair, 0xFFFE, et
al).
Now that is overruled by Larry Wall himself.

For what it?s worth, that?s how I?ve always kept them straight in my

Also for what it?s worth, Perl 6 will mostly default to strict but
make it easy to switch back to lax.
Larry
Do you copy? As of Perl 5.8.7, UTF−8 means strict, official UTF−8
while utf8 means liberal, lax, version thereof. And Encode version
2.10 or later thus groks the difference between "UTF−8" and "utf8".
encode("utf8", "\x{FFFF_FFFF}", 1); # okay
encode("UTF‐8", "\x{FFFF_FFFF}", 1); # croaks
"UTF−8" in Encode is actually a canonical name for "utf−8−strict".
Yes, the hyphen between "UTF" and "8" is important. Without it
Encode goes "liberal"
find_encoding("UTF‐8")‐>name # is ?utf‐8‐strict?
find_encoding("utf‐8")‐>name # ditto. names are case insensitive
find_encoding("utf8")‐>name # ditto. "_" are treated as "‐"
find_encoding("UTF8")‐>name # is ?utf8?.
Got all that?
The sound you heard last night was me banging my head on a desk.
Repeatedly.
I mean, how could I have possibly noticed the massive
difference between utf8 and UTF-8?
Really. I must have been on some serious crack.
Sigh!
Needless to say my code now looks more like this:
use Encode;
...
my $data = Encode::decode('UTF-8', $row->{'Stuff'}); ## fuck!

If you remove components after the sale, instead of refund they could have turned around and said "you dont want package deal, then we refund the cost of MsWindows and then bill you for uninstallationCosts and then bill you the extra cost of each component when done as non package deal", final result would be the customer has a bill to pay.
When you pay for something as a package deal, then if you are going to not want a part of the package either negoatiate the deal without that part before handing over the money OR put up with it.

Sheen160 on "Which is the Best Free Antivirus?"
I joined just to write this so, here it goes.
Don't listen to the post above. Do not, DO NOT, download more than 1 antivirus program. Excluding firewall programs. They will conflict with eachother and cause many problems.
I've used all of these anti-viruses except NOD32. For a good free anti-virus both Avast! and Avira are good. They've caught every virus that's ever gotten on my computer.
For paid, I'd have to go with Kaspersky. It's got a very high detection rate, low false posotive detection rate and doesn't hog your resources. At the moment I'm using Avast! Proffesional. I was satisfied with it but lately it's been popping up these annoying windows asking to allow or deny things that I've been using for months now. It's not too bad on hogging resources. I tried BitDefender on my desktop but then for some reason it wouldn't delete. And other antivirus programs wouldn't run because it was technically still installed. I had to reformat my whole computer. And on a personal note I hate Norton. So many things have gotten past it and it hogs all your resources. So all-in-all I'd go with Kaspersky.

Recently my Dell 8300 would not display anything when booting up. The monitor appeared to be in hibernate mode with the amber light on.

Dell had me reinstall XP. That go me up and running. After re-installing XP, there were many updates to download. Last night I got the the last of them, SP3.

My son is away at college for the first time and was on AIM today. He was invited to a 'party' and as soon as he joined, someone took control of his computer. He's on the university system so it's not easy to reach someone today and likely tomorrow to help.
This person said he could see all his files and then took control of one of his Microsoft XBox accounts and changed the user name. (This was reported to Microsoft already). How do we stop this? Can he plug into another person's outlet and avoid this person accessing his computer (it would be another IP address)?
There is now another person who has jumped in the fray and both their screen names are: xsnayke and ygbrenker. Thefirst is the hacker, the second is just harrassing.

johntmosher on "stupid question"
That is not a stupid question but there are other questions you might want to consider over the Sony / Cannon choice. I personally like Cannon since they don't use Sony's proprietary memory sticks but instead use the more common SD cards or SDHC cards. I have also heard they are more reliable than Sony. A better question for you to consider is what type of camera do you need? DSLR, compact, ultra compact. I had a Cannon SD1000 which was very small and fit in my pocket. It took great shots and the video quality was close to a friends camcorder although with smaller resolution. I lost that in a kayak accident and bought a Cannon A650IS which can be bought for just over $300. It was a larger camera which no longer fit in my pocket but it had 12 megapixels and still took great video. It used four AA batteries and I loved it but it also became a victim of another kayak incident. To replace it I went down to the Cannon A590IS for about $138. It only had two batteries and less megapixels and the optical zoom was not as good as the 650. It tends to lose pictures or videos and I assume it is because of the lower power with only two AA batteries. I really liked the SD1000 and I really liked the A650IS even though it was big. The A590IS I would not reccomend to anyone.
I think the best choice out there would be the Cannon SD1100 - It has even better features than the SD1000 that I liked plus it is so easy to carry. I also bought the Ezonics SD Pro and some extra SD cards to make it easier to download and share pics. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820402003 Using this allows you to save battery life for taking pictures instead of wasting it to download pics. It is very convenient although it is cheaply built. The metal side fell off mine but it still works fine and I can't live without it.
Here is a Newegg link to the SD1100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830120253
If you are thinking of DSLR you would have to ask again for advice from someone who does not avoid them like I do. I learned a long time ago that anything with interchangeable lens is a fast road to the poorhouse. (Plus most of them don't take videos) Publication date: 2008-09-01more

See if you can go to that link and find out which model you have. I was going to look for drivers with video drivers being the most frequent cause of the issue you have. Also - Does this problem happen more often when the machine is warm? If so just blow out any dust and try to keep the machine in a cooler location for operation.

Hi,
I am facing a problem with my diamond, and I am curious if anyone else has faced this problem. When I am attending a call, I like to be able to access other features, like sms, contacts, notes, documents etc. And my husband's HTC Touch lets him do that soooo easily. But my backlight keeps going off, more than that, the touch feature gets turned off, and I have to either insert/remove the stylus, or I have to press the power button to get the control back on my screen before I can proceed. And that too lasts for barely 5-10 seconds, and I have to repeat this everytime, throughout the call... Has anyone else faced this problem, else I need to talk to my retailer about this...
Also, the speaker volume is really low isn't it? Especially compared to Nokia phones, tho the HTC touch is also soooo much better!!!

RIPDIMEBAG on "help my computer wont turn on"
-If it was a faulty CPU (<i>Central Processing Unit)</i>, the computer would turn on but would have no display.
-If the ram (<i>random access memory</i>) was faulty, the computer would sound an alarm.
-If the hdd (<i>hard disk drive) </i>was faulty, the computer would say that you have an invalid system disk (hard drive) and ask you to replace the disk.
So if the power supply has been replaced, it would most likely be the power switch is loose or unplugged.
possibly it has accidentally been unplugged when someone was doing some maintenance work on the pc (<i>personal computer</i>)
I recommend that you pick up a screw driver, and connect the power switch pins on your motherboard with you're metal screw driver. Publication date: 2008-08-31more
RIPDIMEBAG on "help, novice here, motherboard issue???"
If the sound you are hearing is like an alarm sound, it means no ram or faulty ram.
but if not it could be that your cpu has blown up.
Either caused by the heatsink fan not touching the cpu or the cpu fan is not plugged in-this will cause the cpu to blow up.
YOU CAN RECOVER EVERYTHING FROM THE HARD DRIVE DISK ACCEPT PROGGRAMMS AND WINDOWS.
-1-REMOVE THE HARD DRIVE FROM THE COMPUTER AND SET THE JUMPER SETTING ON THE BACK OF THE HARD DRIVE TO SLAVE.
-2-OPEN UP A SECOND COMPUTER AND CONNECT THE CABLES TO THE HARD DRIVE LIKE HOW IT WAS CONNECTED ON THE FAULTY COMPUTER.
-3-TURN ON THE SECOND COMPUTER AND GO TO MY COMPUTER (if it is windows xp or windows 2000 the computer should automaticly detect the hdd) THE HARD DRIVE SHOULD BE SHOWN AS (E:)
you sould be able to recover info from there.
DONT BOTHER REPLACEING THE CPU BECAUSE IT IS NOT WORTH IT
hope this helps... Publication date: 2008-08-31more

OpenSauce on "RE: EA to combat used game sales with online content & services"
As someone who only buys pre-owned cars (when depriciation curve slows), and latterly bought pre-owned games and older 'value' releases...
I read that the high price of new games is mainly down to piracy.
They have about 6 weeks to sell a new game before piracy dents sales, hence £30+
So, in 6 weeks, the money has been made...
Now, they're getting greedy, crying that 2nd hand sales taking away from their already made profits....
Working class families for instance can't afford all new stuff, so now trying to take away 2nd hand sales and get them stuck onlline.

kwilson962 on "help my computer wont turn on"
I have found that when a computer won't turn on, it is usually because of a bad cpu or motherboard. If you want to tackle replacing your motherboard, check out http://www.geeks.com for low priced cpu/motherboards/repair kits/bare-bone systems. Remember to keep yourself grounded, as many components are very sensitive to static electricity. And remember that wrist straps which ground you to the computer case only work if the case itself is grounded (plugged into the wall). You also have to make sure that all of your components and connectors will fit the new motherboard. Check out http://computershopper.com/howto/replace-your-motherboard-200707 for a good discussion of issues related to motherboard replacement. Ideally, just take your computer to a local computer repair shop. Their work is warrantied and it would be a lot faster. Plus, they should be able to diagnose exactly what the problem is.

Apart from backyard parties and tailgating, this will have significant impact for third-world countries. Villages and areas w/o reliable electricity will be able to create their own ice. Not only will this allow people to have ice-box refridgerators, but it also means that supplies that require cooling, e.g. medical vaccinations, can be stored on-site, rather than having to be carried in. Which means health care can improve in these places without significantly costing a whole lot. Publication date: 2008-08-30more

crystalattice on "RE: EA to combat used game sales with online content & services"
Guess what? The developers and other people involved aren't entitled to a cut of the used game trade. They received their money from each initial purchase. That was the deal w/ the retailers. If they want a cut of the used games, they need to negotiate that w/ the retailers. It's not the responsiblity of the consumers to pay them.
In other words, copyright infringement (a.k.a. piracy) does take away from their bottom line; people aren't spending money on a fresh copy. However, used games don't affect them at all. The game was purchased by someone originally and that's all the company is entitled to. The "right of first sale" means people can sell items w/o needing the permission of the manufacturer and w/o having to give the manufacturer a cut of the sale. Publication date: 2008-08-30more

martjack on "MartJack
Market trends often tend to change responding to the situations. Market trends are sensitive to the media. Print and electronic media have strongly influenced the market so far. Now, it is the turn of information technology to leverage its power to lead the market. The technology which has been interweaving with each and every human being in every walk of life is apparently dividing the world from offline to online. This bifurcation, caused by the technology, at once opened gates for seamless business opportunities in the market. Customers mostly depending upon technology when they want to search for products they want. The product search has become simple with the help of technology.
The unprecedented changes that took place in the Indian apparel market in the recent years have made the market so attractive. Customer tendency is also getting changed in the sense of accepting new trends. As a result, branded apparels are being spanned to the second grade towns even. Sales are depended upon the following of the brand image and customer motivation. MartJack, in this sequence, throws light on the untapped potential of the online apparel market.
Current apparel market scenario
Apparel retailers are moving strategically to grab the potential of the huge market share. They are expanding their presence to far and wide in the market by establishing apparel retail franchise stores.
Generally people collect information before they set out for purchasing things. This impact will be more when it comes to apparels. Information itself is the key factor that can influence the purchase decisions. People used to gather product information from friends, colleagues, newspapers, and TV channels etc. But, now, people tend to collect the needful product information on apparels from internet. Internet today has become the major source of instant information.
The online searches for apparels
People started searching on Google for the needful information on apparels.
The monthly average searches are going like this. With the keyword “clothing” 246000 online searches happened. With “cloths” 165000, with “suits” 90500, and with “women fashion wear” 90500 online searches happened in the year 2007. These statistics are constantly increasing every year. These online searches can substantiate the growing power of online apparel market in India. Would the reputed apparel brands like Pantaloon, Lifestyle, Coutons, Raymond’s, Allen solly, Oxemberg, Peter England and many others be able to capitalize the potential of this online apparel market?
What apparel retailers are missing?
With the above online searches, it is crystal clear that the potential of Indian online apparel market needs to be re-directed to the physical market or to be directly tapped online. If the apparel retailers are not able to expose themselves to the online customers, they would be simply missing the massive potential of rapidly growing online community.
MartJack can divert the online traffic to your store
Reasoning Global eApplications ltd has gone through the current apparel market conditions thoroughly. To divert this huge online traffic to the physical stores, eReasoning has pioneered a high-end e-enabler platform, MartJack, for the dynamic online presence of apparel retailers. MartJack will create local area wise apparel web stores for retailers’ physical franchise stores and brings the online apparel customers close to the apparel retailers. Such strategic online expansion of retailers will make their reach effectively into the online apparel market and ultimately can divert the online traffic to physical apparel franchise retail stores.
From web to physical store
By online search, online apparel customers enter MartJack built apparel retail franchise web stores. At webstore they collect, POS generated real time product information with the help of striking images of all kinds of garments. Likewise, the online apparel customer will be informed thoroughly about the desired garments. Thus well informed online customer can easily reach purchase decision. They choose the nearest franchise retail store with the help of store locator. The digital store map successfully drives them from web to store.
This is the most appropriate way to drive the rapidly increasing online traffic to the physical stores. Aiming at unfolding the immense potential of online market, Reasoning Global eApplications ltd has devised this ready to use dynamic e-enabler platform, MartJack. Likewise MartJack helps you in building online brand image too. Publication date: 2008-08-30more

Matthew on "RE: EA to combat used game sales with online content & services"
A lot of developers do not have a choice when it comes to releasing their games. They are signed up with a publisher who only sees the bottom line, wants a release on a specific date (maybe to market alongside a film or sporting event) and the developer is left desperately trying to hit that date.
What you don't hear about is all the changes publishers ask for, details of licenses coming very late in a project and a lack of understanding on the publisher's part that changes mean more time is required.
The high price of games is due mainly to the retailers. If you pay $60 for a game at least $30 of that will go to the retailer (if we are talking game shops here like GameStop). The developer gets very little in terms of royalties from the sale of a game unless it is a top-tier developer such as id. Many developers do work for hire and just get paid for the work.

I got my computer Christmas 2007. Built it from scratch (I'm beginning to regret it too.) Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4ghz abit IP35 Pro motherboard ATI Radeon 2600xt 4 gb ram Windows XP 32 bit HP monitor It crashes all the time. So frustrating. The crash is always the same too. All of a sudden without warning my screen goes black and turns off. Then my monitor reads "Monitor going to sleep" and the light goes orange like the computer is off. The sound from whatever crashed it still goes on for around 30 seconds and then begins an endless stutter "duh-duh-duh-duh" until I hard reset my computer. It will crash on a quicktime video, but not a divx video. It will crash on every video game I try, even games from the 90's but somehow plays one game from 2006 fine. It crashes on Second Life I was playing Assassin's Creed today, I was very surprised when the game loaded without crashing. But about 8-10 minutes later it crashes. Now however when I start it up, like everything else, it immediately crashes on loading. Same thing with Call of Duty 4, I started it up the first time, played for 5 minutes, it crashed, and now it crashes instantly upon loading. Some games I can get through the menu screen and it crashes when it loads game play, some just crash as soon as they start up. I recently reformatted my computer, on the old machine even changing the resolution from windows display would crash my machine. Somehow that got fixed but all my problems are still here. I've updated all my drivers, and tried alternative 3rd party drivers too. Any suggestions?

Being a previous owner of an E90, the E71 is a NICE alternative with not much to lose from the E90 experience. The E90 is a 3G phone but the one I had was an Asian version so no 3G access in the US (Nokia: why do you not incorporate the ability to switch the 3G band since the phone's radio is capable if transceiving on both frequency bands? it would make more sense especially for international travelers). People should keep in mind that while the iPhone is a LOCKED device and is strangled to AT&T's network, Nokia's philosophy is to sell their devices as UNLOCKED and FREE to subscribe to any carrier the customer desires. I wouldn't mind paying $500 for a device that offers the versatility and power the E71 offers, yet in an unlocked package that RESPECTS consumer choice and freedom. WAY TO GO NOKIA! Thumbs down to all the other players in the industry who try to sell your soul to the carriers. Shame on you guys! How un-american, and un-patriotic!

This is all the developers fault. The games are high priced, over hyped, and many times buggy on release. Many gamers have been burned by bying an overpriced and over hyped product which is why the used market is booming.I used to buygames on release dates but now wait for followup user impressions/reviews and bug reports. Too many times the games these developers make are over hyped and buggy on release (sorry, I don't accept buggy software release with online updates as being acceptable and should not be the norm). They should follow Blizzard's example of shipping when ready (this is probably the only company I would trust for releasing a polished product).

Greetings Everyone:
First, allow me to describe this set up, and then to the current status.
A GigaByte GA-K8NXP-SLI ATX Mobo with a 939 socket
An AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 CPU
An ATI Radeon X850 XT & Same card with X850 PE
Four (4) Crucial Ballistix 1 Gig each memory sticks
A Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 4
Two 400 Gig Hard Drives Raid / SATA Striped configured with individually mounted fans -800 Gig / 100G space being used
Two large radiator: One at front intake & one at rear at exhaust with tubing from reservior see-thru tank to the pump, to the CPU, to both radiators in a loop with non-conductive XP Fluid & temperature gauges for monitoring plus alarm.
A 700 watt power OCZ supply
All other periferals not worth mentioning.
Windows XP Pro., SP2 and hardly used for gaming. Mainly business related uses and website building.
I even Hvac air from duct tapped from central heating and air in proximity of air intake fan in front of front radiator.
I know,.. It's like having a racecar to go to the corner store with. But the capabilities were there.
Then, when all of a sudden, striped lines to the far left of the monitor screen, blank darkness and auto shut-down of the whole Pc. Pause, and there was an 'Uh-oh'. The attempt to restart, and nothing. I had another power supply on hand, so I changed over temporarily and the computer started - but no video and no sound.
First guess was to obtain another power supply and video card (for just in case) Upon their arrival, they didn't make a difference. But now, the little dancing lights that usually turn on from the Crucial Ballistix Ram DDR cards don't do a thing and into a few minutes of the pc running, it shuts itself off.
Any suggestions of what may have happened would be great. If the Motherboard, I can replace but then how to restore raid and configuration to bring all records back as before.. (Bios) No, I didn't use a back u, but it's all there between two striped hard drives. Publication date: 2008-08-29more

Great Phone!! Software works smoothly and quickly. Design is unique and very functional. Keyboard is great for heavy texting or surfing. Larger screen good for V-cast, you can actually see what is going on. The shape is very unusual but even with the keyboard open it is no bigger than a blackberry (without the extra service contract). I would definitely recommend this phone!!! Publication date: 2008-08-29more

Oh my gosh this game is horrible. All of the gameplay is based on people stealing gold and followers from people who aren't good at the game. If people weren't stealing from each other there wouldn't be any game to the game.
Their latest update just put a whole lot of players into "war mode" without their consent, and for some people it was either in the middle of the night or the middle of the workday, and their kingdom was ravaged. I am sure that they will be getting a lot of negative responses (like this one) as well as losing a bunch of players -- who will probably realize upon being thrust into war, wait actually, this game is quite lame AND my kingdom is in tatters too. A recipe for a whole bunch of players quitting. Publication date: 2008-08-29more

Interesting, regardless of anything else it looks as if they're anticipating or probably know in fact that Jobs maybe fatally ill. Why else would Bloomberg have "HOLD FOR RELEASE" on this obituary. Above all no matter what people think of Jobs (and most don't like dealing with him and his personality), it will be a sad day when he goes especially for what he's accomplished since his return to Apple 11 years ago.

thedude on "RE: Solar spy plane sets unofficial 82 hour flight record"
Matthew,
I don't really see the advantage of putting these solar cells on a commercial plane. The gas turbine engines that power the plane operate most efficiently at or close to 100% load. Reducing the load probably would not have a significant cost reduction in fuel. (Remember these are keeping the plane in the air!) Plus how much added weight/ conversion system to take advantage of the solar cells. Not to mention the installation cost and maintenance cost added to take care of the cells. So, unless they could make the plane fly on the power of the cells it would not make any sense from a cost stand point. There is no ROI.

Cruisingal on "Royal Caribbean Sucks - Do Not Use Them"
I worked for Royal Caribbean and want you to know they are probably the worst company I worked for. They treat their employees horrible!!!! We have to come in before our shifts to read emails on specials, or weather concerns, ship itinery changes and important info. However, we do not get paid for that time. Plus they are more interested in how fast you can get off the phone with a guest instead of actually helping them. They give us 280 seconds to complete a call. If you call time goes over that you eventually get fired. So the employees can give good cust service and get fired or they can be rude and hurry you off the phone to keep their jobs. Every two weeks you supervisor tells you how much you need to improve even if you are only 1 point from the 280.It is a night mare.
Let me address a few things from above if it is ok. Yes, the ship needs to leave on schedule no matter what your reason is. Otherwise you will not get to your destination on time and why should the guests who arrived on time get a shorter visit at the first port of call because of the people who arrivedlate. The cruise care insurance that is available is not Royal Caribbean. It is a complete different company. You would have to make your claim with them, just like you would if you were in a car accident.If you drove a Ford, Ford is not going to reimburse you, right? It would be your insurance company. The insurance company would also be the ones that take care of the hotel, food, transpertation etc.What usually happens is you have a choice of completing the cruise from the next port they can get you to or you can reschedule the entire cruise and take it at another time or be refunded. That is if you have the insurance. If you do not then your on your own. There would be no one to pick up the hotel bill, pay the cost to the next port etc. You were lucky you had the insurance. When the airlines grounded hundreds of planes a few months ago, many people were not able to get to their ships. Of course, that has nothing to do with Royal Caribbean but the guests were calling for refunds and they had not purchased the insurance so there would be nothing we could do. However, if you had insurance you could file a claim. If the weather was as bad as you said I think I would of flown in a day early. That is what I do. Too many things can go wrong. Even if I drive, I go the day before, stay in a hotel so I am nice and rested. I arrive 2 or 3 hours prior to the boarding time as they always let you on early. I have sailed with numerous cruise line companies and each time they have let the guests on several hours ahead of scheduled. There also was a comment about Royal Caribbean and Celebrity being the same customer service dept. This is not true. They are seperate and are similar but not the same people working for each company at the same place. There are two different presidents of the company and the staff is different.
My first cruise was on Carnival. I had a horrible experience. I was injured and still suffer from one of the injuries. Carnival would not make the doctor available. I went back several times and only the nurse was there and then it was time to get off the ship. One of my injuries was in the spa when they did a sea weed wrap and hooked up my nerve to the electrodes instead of the muscle. I limped for the entire cruise and have nerve damage to that leg now. So I always buy the insurance and I have never been back on Carnival. If they had taken care of me, I would of stayed with them. I did get the bug to cruise and just love it, even though I do get sea sick. The patches work pretty good.
In reference to the comment of mid ship the higher the better. Well, that is an old wisetale. The higher the more expensive and is more wobbly. The lower you are the less you will toss about in the ocean. We would have guests asking for deck 2 and 3 because there is less motion.

erictraz on "EMachines Class Action"
Like most of these posts, I want in on a suit! My T3624 recently blew up, after owning it for three years. It used the Bestec ATX-250-12E power supply. Even though this was a relatively inexpensive computer, I believe it should have worked longer without failure.
Yesterday I bought a used T6524 (it too is about 3 years old). It comes with a different power supply, that is rated a bit higher, so I swapped the power supply into my old T3624 and it still would not boot: I conclude that the motherboard is shot as well. I managed to salvage data from the hard drive but a big pain reloading a new machine, plus the expense.
I believe the power supply is the issue, however, eMachines is responsible since they built the machine. They can subrogate to Bestec. Publication date: 2008-08-28more

Canada-based SecuTech to establish worldwide channel01 March 2008 www.eSecuTech.comSecuTech, a security vendor of USB-based security hardware, is looking for distributors to sell and market its products to the trade worldwide.
The company is headquartered in Canada and established an international sales force earlier this year, headed by Michelle Law. 'Our company standpoint is that we are a lean organisation and our product margin is going to be high,' she said.
The company will support worldwide suppliers by providing sample products. Once the channel is established, SecuTech will look at making marketing funds available, Law said.SecuTech's product set is divided into three types: software protection, network security and video protection.
The software protection products, Unikey and Unikey PRO are generically called dongles. A dongle is a USB or parallel port device that may be integrated to an application to prevent unauthorised duplication. The Unikey dongle product is our most mature and is currently the market leader in Canada. This product is aimed at software developers whose product costs in excess of €100 and is liable to duplication. This type of product is widely used by CAD-CAM companies and others whose pricing would allow for the addition of a hardware key.
The Unikey video protection system - UniKey Video Protector intends to protect video files like SWF, Flv, MPEG, AVI, WAV, RM and RMVB. It is an easy-to-use solution for software vendors who want to sell video data to customers while scared of illegal usage and distribution.

Pandora's box of technology has been opened, get used to it! It's going to be interesting in the coming years how technology will but heads with social values. Privacy will soon be a thing of the past. I don't like it, but I'm not like some dumbass lawmaker that thinks they can legislate technology back in the box. Someday ALL our dirty laundry will be left out to dry on the net. Kinda of scary, but I think people will adapt and not care so much about knowing everyone else's business.

gregg on "RE: Google Street View photographers commit virtual trespassing"
We need to lobby for whatever privacy we can legally retain. Technology is a tool. It can be used for good or for evil. Society needs to weigh the potential risks and make appropriate laws. Both sides of the argument are wrong. We can't return to the anonymity that people enjoyed in the nineteenth century. It would also be foolhardy to declare that everything that can possibly be discovered about a person should be easily available to anyone. A person doesn't need to have any 'dirty laundry' to realize that easy access to a full knowledge of their activites becomes a risk. All you need is one person who wants to harm you or take something from you. If that evil person were to easily learn your patterns, he could find a way to injure or kill you. If that evil person were to easily get information about you, they could steal your identity on many banking sites that still ask stupid questions like "what was your mother's maiden name?" Wanting to retain some privacy doesn't necessarily mean that you have something to hide and be ashamed about. It might just mean that you have a life.
But - to get back to your question: "Would close up shots of your house, possibly even shots that can see inside your home, be acceptable to you?" . . .I'm not a lawyer, but in my opinion, if you can see inside my house, using the visible spectrum, then it's my fault for not closing the curtains. If you're trespassing to get the picture - then not only should the picture be removed, but you should pay the penalty for trespassing. Publication date: 2008-08-27more

dskowtx on "NEED HELP COMPUTER PROB"
You need to divide the problem into locational areas. Window Applications, Window drivers, BIOS, hardware, or connection/short circuit problem.
If you are running Windows you can try going into safe mode by hitting F8 on boot up.
Next, you can also try to see if at least your monitor, keyboard and mouse are still working by trying to run the Windows install disk. If they do work, your windows OS is corrupted.
If the install disk does not even show up, your BIOS probably got messed up or a wire inside or outside the computer got disconnected. A thick layer of Dust can also cause problems. Just cleaning out the dust with a can of compressed air may fix the problem.
If you have not touched your BIOS, the problem is probably not there. Check your physical connections for anything that "looks" out of place.
If you need to go into the computer hardware guts, make sure to unplug the power. Also, only open the computer case if you know about static electricity safety measures (you don't want to fry one of your components).
The BIOS utility program is usually accessed by hitting Del, F1, F2, or Esc key even earlier on boot up. Usually there is a Screen stating which key to hit. Reseting a BIOS usually involves taking out the system watch-like battery and temporarily moving a jumper on the motherboard. Consult the manufacter of the motherboard.

Chinavasion on "Wholesale From China Gives Notebook Users The EDGE To Stay Mobile
One of the biggest worries for road warriors is the expensive and fickle nature of their laptop's wireless connections. To solve this problem wholesale mobile electronics makers from China have released new modems that use GSM EDGE technology to keep people connected.
EDGE stands for Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution. Cell phone and laptop owners with EDGE capable devices can surf the internet, view streaming videos/music and download data.
EDGE has let businesspeople stay in touch with devices like smart phones and PDA's. However, it hasn't been possible to harness EDGE's WAP capabilities for notebook modems.
According to Chinavasion's PR manager, Rose Li, there used to be only one way to take advantage of the fast and relatively inexpensive download times. That was to get an expensive smart phone and then go through a lengthy and complicated 'tethering' process. "
Tethering was, and always will be, a risky business which is expensive to do and ties up two business tools to do the same thing," according to Rose Li. "Thankfully wholesale mobile phone makers have come up with a way to get around that."
Chinavasion's Rose Li said EDGE modems and the EDGE network was head and shoulders above other wireless connection options available to laptop users as EDGE modems were easy to set up and data downloads were a fraction of the cost of traditional wireless internet plans.
"Fast, stable internet connections have never been so accessible on the road, or so affordable," said Chinavasion's Rose Li.

The work around that I found was to put it in speaker mode. I had this problem most of the day July 4, 2008 until I found a work around. I don't make many call, but when I do I expect them to work. After upgrading the software, outgoing calls worked again here in Dallas, TX. I don't have the 3G version of the phone.
Also, I make sure to close all of the web pages and make only a blank one left. Some pages poll for info in the background which will drain battery life. The phone does not end the browser app when you go to the iphone main page.

Airplanes are pretty high about the 2D grid of wireless internet on the ground. The new 4G technology is planned for only 1/2 mile range. Planes are up at 5-6 miles. So, the max range from the ground tower would need to be around 50 miles and a flight would still have 30-40 handoffs. I wonder how good the internet would be if those are the numbers. Not to mention thunderstorms to slow things down. It seems that using satellites or some kind of low earth wireless network would give a better connection.

addisa on "RE: Microsoft offers 91% student discount on Office"
Matt, although I agree with your opinion about Open Office being a great product, I must disagree with your opinion. Although I know several people that use Open Office, hardly any of them use it for business. Most of the business world is dominated by MS Office, and I would recommend any student purchase MS Office to get a head start on the interworkings of MS Office and for 50 dollars, the MS Office books will probably cost more. Although free would be great for the consumer, I feel 50 dollars is reasonable to cover the cost of the software and the program that will require students to pass certain credentials. I think MS has finally gotten a price point right on software for a change.
Another thing I have noticed is if you look at job boards, most all job postings have a "must know MS Office" on them, I haven't seen one recently that had a "Must know Open Office". Now I am not a MS fanboy, but I have many businesses that I look after as an IT consultant, and I am just reporting it as I see it. Publication date: 2008-08-26more
desz01 on "RE: Facebook tops MySpace for social crown"
I agree. Facebook is much easier to find friends. Additionally, it has a cleaner look, provides for more fun with their interactive applications (especially with the highly addictive PetrolHead) and seems more professional looking. For example, if my employer wanted to check out my Facebook page, I wouldn't think twice. However, some peoples applications can get RISKE.

Use OpenOffice. Once you're comfortable with that, your only challenge to moving to Office 2007 is learning where the features are on the blasted ribbon. The only up-side is everyone is living that nightmare.

LonOrenstein on "Can Internet Explorer live with Macbook"
I've got a client who loves his Macbook (and he should!). He needs to use Internet Explorer to access Microsoft CRM Online on an infrequent basis. He probably won't want to reboot and run Windows. SO:
1. Is there a way to put an icon on his desktop to launch IE running under Mac OS or does he have to reboot? He's a "click one icon" kind of guy...
2. Could you run a U3 USB type of device to launch an IE instance?
3. Are there other ideas that would simplify this?
Thanks for your support!

This works quite well, even if they haven't indexed everything. They are now at 700 million, so it's moved fairly well from the time of this story. I found it interesting to bring up some images in google search and then check them in TinEye. You can see how images get swiped and used everywhere. What's really cool about this service is that it can still find the images even if they have been cropped or photoshopped. No more stealing images and just cropping or editing so nobody knows you stole it!

dragonegg on "RE: Intel demonstrates wireless power transmission"
Tesla did many cool things, which our government doesn't want us to know or experiment with. Some due to it being too dangerous for the general public to tinker with. This is cool and hopefully Intel will drive this technology to make it business viable. Applying this to a grander scale will eliminate power lines and allow electric cars to not have to be plugged in to recharge and allow extended long trips. Though we must be careful as all these energy waves in the air may have adverse health effects on us as well.
Definitely something to watch. this is akin to the change brought about by wireless internet access. Cool stuff. Publication date: 2008-08-26more
gergith on "Intels wireless power.. article is wrong... my correction posts get deleted..."
This is the third post i have tried after the first two failed...
This is really really badly run news site.. if someone trying desperatly to post corrections to your article can't even do so...
How can two completely different and seperate posts be seen as double posting, and require BOTH to be deleted?
It wasn't spam.. It wasn't a double post.. and even if it was a double post, don't your actions require that one be deleted not both....
This is really sad to the point where i dont really want to use your news site anymore... I know I can write better purely because i did without even doing any research today. Im sure if i looked in a book i could find alot more neat facts that were completely ignored....
Bottom line, comercially viable wireless technology existed 100 years ago....
That intel photo is akin to Tesla's famous photo with Mark Twain.. Twain is holding an illuminated lightbulb.. but no wires, and no powersource are on his person......... 100 years ago........
..... I just tried to post a secondary post to add further information that this website left out... and it removed BOTH posts.. Thats AWESOME...
now I have read the rules to see if I broke them, but i have not and will direct furthur comment in that regard to the forum... but it wasn't a repeated post, it was two unique, informational posts...
First off.. Thank you Sarge, Your post makes me smile to see at least YOU can give cerdit where credit is due.
Nikola Tesla invented this system 100 years ago literally.... before using wires, he liked to NOT use wires.. and it worked.... (look him up on wikipedia).
He had a comercially viable system 100 years ago.. (again, geek.com do your research. it sucks having to post corrections on your news articles...)
So this technology was comercially available 100 years ago. If you disagree with Tesla's discovery, it is impossible to deny these facts about his:
he designed and invented the entire AC power grid we are running on in north america. He designed niagra falls power station.. still in use today covering a MASSIVE area of north america considering its "free energry".
He was one of the first to point a radio to the sky and hear other planets static/radiation coming ove the radio spectrum.. he claimed they were aliens, but the source was real and he was one of the first to identify it. partyl because of him we dont take pictures in space, we use things like radio to get out of visible light spectrum. infra as well... this discredited him to the point of being fogotten..
Thomas Edisons company blackballed Tesla and all his work. stole his AC system (edisons was DC) and pretty much ruined him...
But Tesla had a comercially viable system to even power cars 100 years ago by this technology...
IGNORING all that....
Crystal Radio's are another form of this technology, discovered over 50 years ago, and really put to use in the wars..
A Crystal Radio does not have a battery. It just gets the electricity it needs from the air. it converts radio waves BACK into energy, thus another wireless power system... this is 50 year old technolgoy if not 100 year old..
MIT may be improving it. but this is 50-100 year old technology.. and to report otherwise is simply spreading of misinformation.... Publication date: 2008-08-26more

Best antivirus - any mac.
I have a pc and a mac side by side. Every free antivrus software mentioned here is on my pc. Not one single antivirus program on my mac.
Guess which one is infested.
No doubt it's not a satisfactory answer for most of you but I thought I'd mention something outside the box so to speak. Anyway, if you insist on free software on your pc i recommend having at least two. None are perfect and using more than one increases your odds. spyware doctor and avg are good at detecting and fixing problems and avast detects in real time. Heck, get all three! They're free.

vanityfades on "Network Card ... Issues..."
I recently reformatted my hard drives and reinstalled Windows XP on my PC due to a virus and due to the fact that it had been a few years and I just thought my computer needed a fresh start. And this is exactly where my problem began.
Since I reinstalled Windows, I've been unable to connect to the internet, and I've become completely lost searching for the solution. Here is the information I've gathered so far; I'm hoping this will be useful and that someone will know what I can do.
I'm running with an ECS PF1 Version 1.1 Motherboard, which comes with an onboard adapter. I was assuming that the 1394 Adapter connection which Windows installed on its own was this onboard adapter, but I've recently read that it, in fact, is not? Clueless there.
I also have a D-Link DFE 530TX+ hooked up to one of my PCI slots. For some reason when I initially reinstalled Windows, it also installed a connection labeled "Realtek Family Fast Ethernet Adapter". Right from the beginning this connection stated that there was a network cable unplugged, when there was not. Since then, I uninstalled this Realtek connection because, well, I don't have a Realtek network adapter.
Multiple attempts at ipconfig only give a "Media Disconnected" message; attempts to ping 127.0.1.1 come back 100%; but attempts to ping my own IP address yield a 0% return rate. Attempts at updating my motherboard's drivers have been useless - the sound card driver tells me that there is no supported device installed on my computer (this is from the CD that came with the motherboard); drivers for this motherboard that I downloaded from the ECS website give me the same error message. Attempts at updating the D-Link Adapter drivers (which I downloaded) also return the same message.
Both of these adapters appear in my Device Manager list of installed hardware, both with yellow ? icons next to them.
As you might notice, I've tried just about everything I can think of to correct this problem, and come up with nothing. Please help.. I'm so lost without my computer, I really don't know what to do. Anyone with suggestions are more than welcome to reply...
Thanks. Publication date: 2008-08-24more

AlcoElec on "Solve This!"
Greetings Everyone:
First, allow me to describe this set up, and then to the current status.
A GigaByte GA-K8NXP-SLI ATX Mobo with a 939 socket
An AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 CPU
An ATI Radeon X850 XT & Same card with X850 PE
Four (4) Crucial Ballistix 1 Gig each memory sticks
A Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 4
Two 400 Gig Hard Drives Raid / SATA Striped configured with individually mounted fans -800 Gig / 100G space being used
Two large radiator: One at front intake & one at rear at exhaust with tubing from reservior see-thru tank to the pump, to the CPU, to both radiators in a loop with non-conductive XP Fluid & temperature gauges for monitoring plus alarm.
A 700 watt power OCZ supply
All other periferals not worth mentioning.
Windows XP Pro., SP2 and hardly used for gaming. Mainly business related uses and website building.
I even Hvac air from duct tapped from central heating and air in proximity of air intake fan in front of front radiator.
I know,.. It's like having a racecar to go to the corner store with. But the capabilities were there.
Then, when all of a sudden, striped lines to the far left of the monitor screen, blank darkness and auto shut-down of the whole Pc. Pause, and there was an 'Uh-oh'. The attempt to restart, and nothing. I had another power supply on hand, so I changed over temporarily and the computer started - but no video and no sound.
First guess was to obtain another power supply and video card (for just in case) Upon their arrival, they didn't make a difference. But now, the little dancing lights that usually turn on from the Crucial Ballistix Ram DDR cards don't do a thing and into a few minutes of the pc running, it shuts itself off.
Any suggestions of what may have happened would be great. If the Motherboard, I can replace but then how to restore raid and configuration to bring all records back as before.. (Bios) No, I didn't use a back u, but it's all there between two striped hard drives. Publication date: 2008-08-24more

One thing that is worth noting - when the browser crashes it doesn't seem to totally pollute the OS so that the phone becomes unusable. I generally have been able to resme working even after a crash. This is in contrast to the way other phones (namely my experience with WM) can become extremely unstable after a crash (not releasing most of their memory).
I'm one of the lucky ones. I have had a 3G iPhone since mid July. So far I haven't experienced the 3G signal issues. My downloads seem fast as promised. I do not see a lot of 3G / EDGE signal fluctuation.
Overall I do have an extremely bitter taste in my mouth toward AT&T and their sly price hike for both data and SMS text messages.
I agree with each of your points and if Apple releases a 3G phone with the promise of faster and better - then they darn well better deliver.. Publication date: 2008-08-23more

Just wonder if you have upgraded your 1st gen iphone firmware to 2.0. I did, and now its battery life is about half of what it used to be. That makes me think at least part of cause of iPhone 3G's short battery life is firmware related. (and here is hope it can be improved by future firmware upgrade) Honestly as much as I love app store and other 2.0 features, I miss 1.1.4 which was rock solid with great battery life.

Another example why Microsoft are tumbling, they are so out of touch with their products its ridiculous. $300 on a Vista campaign? If they had spend this money on Vista in the first place it wouldnt be such a problem.
I'm sorry but Vista is ridiculous, a new OS should be better, faster and if possible slimmer than the old one, just because my computer has 4GB of memory doesnt mean i have to waste it all on the OS. Its an expensive, fat, slow, and featureless OS, period. Publication date: 2008-08-23more

jedblues on "relentless BSOD, different every time"
Hello,
This is my first post. After perusing some of the threads here, I thought this might be a friendly and helpful board to join.
Two days ago my laptop got slammed with a slew of malware as a result of my niece using it while virus signatures were not up to date. When I first got to it, it was all I could do uninstall the old antivirus and install new software. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. A virus, trojan, worm, and rootkit were all detected by Prevx2 scans and Avira Antivir. I let Prevx clean what it could, and though it reported all threats had been removed that was obviously not the case. I rebooted, then ran Spybot S&D, which detected and removed a colossal amount of garbage. Rebooted again, then ran Antivir and allowed it to remove yet more. Finally I ran a HiJackThis scan, and removed what I knew were threats and hijacks. I ran all of the above steps once again while disconnected from the internet, but not in safe mode.
Finally it seemed everything had been taken care of. Until I left for 5 minutes and returned to see the blue screen, baring the message bad_pool_header. I restarted, and sure enough, the next time I left the machine alone for about 5 minutes the BSOD came back with a different message: no_more_irp_stack_locations. It's different every time. Other error messages include bogus_driver and iRQL_not_less_or equal etc. etc. I don't have the rest of the error info.
My ram is but a month old. Should I try reseating the cards? What about running a repair with the XP disc? As the error message is different every time, I'm really at a loss as to what may have caused this. I've not installed anything new recently. The only significant changes took place as a result of that serious infection.
Dell Inspiron 510M. Windows XP Pro. 1.50 gigahertz Intel Pentium M. 1.280 gig of ram. Firefox browser.
If anyone could please help, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance. Publication date: 2008-08-22more

rebelegg on "Computer keep rebooting itself when playing games, movies"
This is my first time to use this forum so I posted the same topic on "Chip". Sry about that.
Im getting really tried on trying to fix my computer. I have tried to fix it for few months but never success.
Here is my computer, I built it few months ago and it should be a pretty good one so i really wanna fix it. THX:
CPU: Intel QX9650 Extreme 3.00GHz
MB: ASUS P5N-D 750i SLI motherboard
RAM: I tried two sets of RAM
1) Corsair CM2X1024-8500C5 (2*1G)
2) Kingston KVR800D2N5K2 (also 2*1G)
Video cards: I have dual graphic cards: NVIDIA Geforce 8800GTX in SLI mode
HDD: WD 500G
PSU: Antec 1000W power supply
OS: Win XP SP3
The computer reboot almost everytime I play game(Crysis, Need for speed prostreet, kungfu Panda, etc.. and even Age of Empire III now). It also reboot itself when i played movies sometime(not always though). I have turned off auto restarting of windows. But when it reboot, it doesn't give me any error message or blue screen. It just reboot, and go back to windows without causing any further problem.
I tried using only one video card and only one memory, reboot still. The first pairs of memory are not tested by ASUS so i brought the second pairs, which are listed on the motherboard user manual, but it still reboot.
It seems there is a little difference between using one video card and two. When using two video cards, it rebooted even i was playing some old games. when using only one video card and one RAM, it looks running little better but it still reboot once in a while.
I am thinking it's caused by PSU. But my PSU is 1000W, should be enough. And one thing that i almost forget to metion is, it didn't reboot when i run Prime95 for three hours.
I have used RealTemp, CoreTemp toreport the temp. The temp of the CPU (around 50C), M/B (40 something) and video card (60C - 70C something) seems normal. And i have six case fans but they are connected to a separate 110V AC-to-12V DC power adapte. So they are not using the power from PSU.
And i just reinstalled Win XP and the problem is still here. So I dont think it caused by virus.
To me it seems this can be caused by bad PSU, bad MB, RAM conflic, bad Geforce/nForce driver, or even SATA conflict. But i have no idea what to do and how to start to test it. I have spent so much money on this computer but it never makes me happy.
by the way, it doesn't reboot when i was using internet, MS word or playing music. But it does reboot when i burn DVD or making my own DVD-movie. So it seems it reboot when i running something related to graphic stuff.
Anyone have any idea? Many thanks!!

capitalist on "RE: Is Telecommuting Working?"
Two points.
1) All of these objections can be summed up with the statement that telecommuting requires competent managers. Since most managers are incompetent, this is clearly a problem.
2) The article fails to mention that the decision on whether to allow telecommuting is fundamentally political. Many managers and executives consider maintaining control of their employees more important than the success of the business. Many of them enter management because they enjoy controlling others; business efficiency is secondary, if it's even a consideration at all. Publication date: 2008-08-22more
Dumber is Faster with Large Data Sets (and Disk Seeks)
I remember
reading Disk
is the new Tape earlier this year and how much it resonated.
That's probably because I was working for Yahoo at the time and
hearing a lot about their use
of Hadoop for data
processing. In fact, I even did a couple videos
(1
and 2)
about that.
Anyway, I recently faced the reality of this myself. When I wrote
about The
Long Term Performance of InnoDB I'd been beating my head against
a wall trying to get millions of records out of InnoDB
efficiently.
It was taking days to get all the records. Yes, days!
After joking that it'd probably be faster to just dump the tables
out and do the work myself in Perl, I thought about Disk is the
new Tape and realized what I was doing wrong.
Allow me to offer some background and explain...
There are several tables involved in the queries I needed to run.
Two of them are "core" tables and the other two are LEFT JOINed
because they hold optional data for the rows I'm pulling. There are
well over a hundred million records to consider and I need only
about 10-15% of them.
And these records fall into roughly 500 categories. So what I'd
been doing is fetching a list of categories, running a query for
each category to find the rows I actually need, processing the
results, and writing them to disk for further processing.
The query looked something like this:
SELECT field1, field2, field3, ... field N
FROM stuff_meta sm, stuff s
LEFT JOIN stuff_attributes sa ON sm.item_id = sa.item_id
LEFT JOIN stuff_dates sd ON sm.item_id = sd.item_id
WHERE sm.item_id = s.item_id
AND sm.cat_id = ?
AND sm.status IN ('A', 'B', 'C')
That seemed, at least in theory, to be the obvious way to
approach the problem. But the idea of waiting several days for the
results let me me to think a bit more about it (and to try some
InnoDB tuning along the way).
While it seems very counter-intuitive, this was sticking in my
head:
I?m still trying to get my head around this concept of
"linear" data processing. But I have found that I can do some
things faster by reading sequentially through a batch of files
rather than trying to stuff everything in a database (RDF or SQL)
and doing big join queries.
So I gave it a try. I wrote a new version of the code that
eliminated the two AND bits in the WHERE clause. Combining that
with
using mysql_use_result
in the client API, meant it had to process a stream of many tens of
millions of records, handle the status filtering and shorting
records into buckets based on cat_id (and some extra
bookkeeping).
As an aside, I should note that there used to be an ORDER BY on
that original query, but I abandoned that early on when I saw how
much work MySQL was doing to sort the records. While it made my
code a bit easier, it was far more efficient to track things outside
the database.
Anyway, the end result was that I was able to get all the data I
needed in merely 8 hours. In other words, treating MySQL as an SQL
powered tape drive yielded a 12 fold improvement in
performance.
Put another way, taking the brain-dead stupid, non-SQL,
mainframe-like approach got me results 12 times faster than doing it
the seemingly "correct" way.
Now this isn't exactly what the whole disk vs. tape thing
is about but it's pretty close. I'm aware that InnoDB works with
pages (that will contain multiple records, some of which I don't
need) and that's part of the problem in this scenario. But it's a
really interesting data point. And it's certainly going to change
my thinking about working with our data in the future.
Actually, it already has. :-)
Dumber is faster.
As I've
mentioned before, craigslist is hiring. We like good Perl/MySQL
hackers. And good sysadmin and network types too.
Ping me if you're
interested in either role.

Get Remote access to Unikey STD
We have long concerned about the lost of dongles plugged in the workstation at stores, bars, coffees with people coming and going alongside, now UniKey standalone with one remote access settled the problem.
-- Richard Henderson
UniKey Standalone with one remote access -
A perfect solution for mini network working situation
Background
For stores, bars, restaurants, cafeterias, coffee shops, to steamily manage and control the system is not enough, they are trying to simplify operations and maximize efficiencies, perform a vast range of transactions, reduce staff training cost, remain gust loyalty, increase repeat business.
Software
The point of sales software can smartly performs merchandise planning, inventory management, employee controlling, customer relationship management with enhanced features like, searching manufacture's number, products immediately, retrieve customer information by name, phone number, track personal shipping history, low stock alert, create sales report instantly.
Technical requirement
Working background: in a store, a server with a workstation. The store operation, let us assume that the store operation is loaded on the server of a small network, the dongle is on the workstation, which means the dongle is locally attached. Once the dongle is plugged in, the server will validate the license to the workstation. The problem is, with people coming and going alongside, the dongle is easily to be lost.
A standalone dongle can only works in field, while a network dongle is kind of extravagant for a situation of a server and a workstation.
Solution-UniKey Standalone with a remote access
The standard UniKey can also work on the network, but it can only accept one remote client/access. (It is good for demo and special customer who need only 1 license).
In a store with a workstation and a managing server, UniKey is plugged in the server. When the workstation is running, UniKey in the sever which recognizes it and gives the authorization.

dangoldthrite on "GM pilfered Mp3 Port from former contractor"
Back in 2002 / 03 I had a discussion with a patent attorney who worked for GM. I had an idea of putting an MP3 Port in vehicles to accomodate the younger generation.
Appearently my suggestion had some impact. Here I sit disabled on SSD and a huge company benefiting from my idea. Was it a coincidence that GM had the same idea simo with mine? Ya right.
Shame on them. Publication date: 2008-08-21more

ShadowPenguin on "Best colleges for Computer Science"
I've learned that the name of your degree usually only benefits you on paper. They see you graduated from UCLA on your resume, and you go for an interview. Once you walk in the door, your degree becomes useless, it's up to you to perform. But if you're really looking for the top schools, I think the US News ranking is one of the more popular ones. http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/rankindex_brief.php
I would look at the location of the school, and try and gauge how much you would enjoy going there. I know that my quality of life is dependent upon the yummy factor of the food I eat, so a school with a crappy chow hall doesn't appeal to me. It's for those reasons that I suggest the Princeton Review ranking system, give it a look.http://www.princetonreview.com/college-rankings.aspx Publication date: 2008-08-21more

GotFr4g on "More Alienware problems..."
Hey guys. I own an Area 51 m9750 notebook, supposedly the best that Alienware offered at the time of purchase which was around Christmas this year. Here are the specs:
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7600 2.33GHz 4MB Cache 667MHz FSB
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SO-DIMM at 667MHz – 2 x 1024MB
Dual 512MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8700M GT - SLI Enabled
120GB 7,200RPM (8MB Cache)
Windows Vista® Ultimate 32 bit
They assured us when we purchased it that this machine would run perfectly smooth on the highest settings for most games. As it stands, everything is slow, Windows locks up on occasion and I'm often forced to use the lowest graphics settings to get any performace at all. I suspect the processor is at fault but I'm no computer expert so I really have no idea. I've run every diagnostic I can think of. Virus scans turn up clean, defrag has already been done etc... The only other alternative is to reinstall the operating system which I've already done several times. Even then I'll get a couple days of mildly decent performance before the system slows down again. If anyone out there can help me resolve, or at least find the cause of the problem, I would be very grateful. Publication date: 2008-08-21more

KidZine on "CD/DVD ROM is not working correctly."
A couple days ago I was trying to instal a program onto my laptop via my CD/DVD ROM. Half way through the instalation failed for some reason and ever since my CD/DVD ROM has no been able to work.
I suspected that the crash caused the driver to uninstal. I seem to be wrong since through the control panel, it is still stating that the ROM is working fine.
To explain what is going on; when I put a disc in the ROM, it will either make a loud roaring sound and just stop after one second. Or it will start to spin and continue on without reading the disc.
The likes of this has never happened to me before and I tried to look up on what to do, but I can't find anything useful. I was wondering if someone here would be able to give me a hand.
Thank you very much. Publication date: 2008-08-21more

My screen is currently showing 6 miniature screens with green bars running down each one. My text size is very large right now or else I can't read it.
Here's what I know.
I'm running Windows Vista Ulimate @32 bits on a HP Pavilion dv2000. My display adapter is NVIDIA NB8M-GS. Device Manager is giving this error "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems." (code 43)
I've completely wiped my laptop and formatted it already. It was fine for an hour and reverted back to this. I've flashed the lastest bio, check for updates for the driver and windows but to no avail.
I've even contact HP but my warrenty has ran out and it'll cost over 200 to send in the laptop so I'm hoping someone has some answers before I have to resort to that. Thanks. Publication date: 2008-08-21more

Long story short, my daughter uses AOL Instant Messenger, and with IM Logger, I caught her in some sordid convo's. She knows it was Logger, and instead of turning it off (which she knows I would notice), she created a different screen name, and uses it now.
I dont know what her new screenname is, so I cant even begin to keep tabs on her again. She uses my computer at home, so all I need to know is where that info should be stored in the computer. I'm not an IT man, but I figured you guys would be the best resource. Publication date: 2008-08-21more

paparazzi on "RE: PresidentialPup.com: Vote for the First Dog"
I actually didn't want to choose any of the proposed breeds, although poodles and the terriers tend to be great for folks with allergies, not to mention sharp dogs. I wanted to suggest an Airedale. We are enjoying our second Airedale (the first one having lived to a ripe old age of 14)and they are absolute characters, not to mention smart (but stubborn) dogs. Ours has personailty to spare and in spite of her size (80 lbs.) She thinks she is a lap dog. She doesn't shed which is another plus. Warren Harding had an Airedale, so there is precedent for this particular breed in the White House. As to adopting dogs from a shelter vs. buying purebreds, we found our girl on a rescue site 3 years ago for Airedales. There are rescue sites galore for all sorts of breeds, including puppies.

Reaper on "RE: Crytek predicts PS4/Xbox 720 as early as 2011"
The 720 certainly won't be cheap if Microsoft keeps up their proprietary hard drive crap. A 120GB for $200? I put a 320GB in my PS3 for $89. I'd hate to see the price of a 500GB HDD for the 720.
I don't expect to see a PS4 until late 2012 at the earliest. Sony pushes a 10-year cycle for each console and releases a new one about the 7th year. It wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft tries to jump the gun again and release a new one in 2010.
As for Nintendo, I could really care less. I have my Gameboy Advance SP and an N64, and that's probably the last things I'll own from them. Publication date: 2008-08-21more

Thanks johnr for making it much easier to move in this direction. I too had been using various pbx distros and after going through the process of ferreting out bad hardware issues I was too weary(wary) about using the asterisk sources directly. I did often encounter the odd forum comment suggesting it, though, since it would allow me to really understand what is going on with Asterisk. My hardware is very reliable now so I feel more confident about continuing the great experiment. Publication date: 2008-08-21more
Lembert Dome Hike in Yosemite
Last weekend afforded an opportunity to explore the Lembert Dome Hike in Yosemite National Park.
Lembert Dome is the monolithic dome that dominates the eastern end of Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park. It's a justifiably popular ascent, particularly among day hikers in the area, with the summit offering magnificent views of Tuolumne Meadows to the west, the Cathedral Range to the south, and the Sierra crest to the east.
The trail starts out a bit steep but the views are definitely worth the trek up, as is a quick side trip to Dog Lake.
Here are a few pictures.
Some rocks to mark the start of the trial...
The clouds helped keep the heat down.
Almost there!
Looking back where we came from.
Hey, it's me!
Look at all those trees...

athea on "Video Card Problems, Help Needed Please"
Ok, first of all I would like to state that I have no in dept knowledge about the hardware of a computer. So I apologizes if I am slow on the up take. Also, my warranty ran out earlier this year.
HP Pavilion dv2000
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.20GHz
Windows Vista (Ultimate @ 32 bits)
Driver: NVIDIA NB8M-GS
Here's my problem. (and steps I took if you wish to read all of it)
It started when I downloaded a game (was on closed beta stage and was really looking forward to it). I tried to run the game and my laptop froze and crashed. A few hours later I get a screen full of green lines and different colored bars. Forced shut down and the screen now features multiple little images of the window with green lines.
At that point if you squint really hard and focus, you can still see parts of the screen. I went ahead and reformat and updated everything again. Everything was running smoothly for about a day and half before it started all over again. Since formatting it didn't work I started to look for something else to do.
So I went into device manager and found that my display adaptor was shut down by windows because of a problem. I'm not sure what the rest says since I could really see it well enough.
I then roll backed my driver which fixed the multiple screen. Of course everything was big and the colors were horrible but it was fixed. I went ahead and update the driver again back to NVIDIA NB8M-GS. It has been fine for a day now but the green lines appeared earlier today and my laptop crashed again. The start up (after the crash) featured multiple little screens (again) but once windows started up it was fine. I'm sure that won't last for long though so I'm posting this in hopes of a permanent solution.
If anyone has anything helpful please let me know. Thank you. Publication date: 2008-08-19more
docmacps on "RE: Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 Webcam"
The 9000 is a UVC - USB Video Class cam - and as such DOES work on Mac OSX 10.4.3 and up - and Leopard 10.5. So it is just plug-and-play on OS X. Unfortunately, the auto-focus function is not supported (Since Logitech provides no Mac software). So it acts as just a very well made FIXED FOCUS cam on the Mac platform. Recently Logitech introduced a *Mac-Specific* model; the Vision Pro, where the auto-focus and RightLight2 is all done in hardware. That said, there's more affordable UVC webcams listed at http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/ - and frankly a fixed or adjustable focus cam from, say, Creative Labs or others may a better choice than any of the other (non-supported) autofocus models from Logitech.

Open Source Queueing and Messaging Systems?
Dear Lazyweb,
I'm interested getting an idea of what open
source message
queueing systems exist that are fast, stable, and have some good
replication (think multi-colo) and fault tolerance built-in. The
idea being, of course, that some processes want to send messages
into a queue (of work to be done) and other processes will fetch
those and do stuff with them.
Ideally, I'm looking for a system that allows for different message
priorities--meaning that I'd like to be able to mark some messages
as less important, so it's okay if we lose them in a crash. It'd
also be handy to have the ability to set expiation times on
messages.
Bonus points for stuff with good Perl libraries.
Put another way, if you wanted to run something
like Amazon's
SQS on your own infrastructure, what would you use as the
building blocks?
Stuff I already know of (some of which doesn't meet my own
criteria):
Open AMQ
Apache
ActiveMQ
ejabberd
Spread::Queue
which uses the Spread
Toolkit
RabbitMQ
But surely there's more. Feel free to spew others in the comments
below...
And even if you don't know of any others, I'd love to hear about
your experience with any of the above or already commented
systems. (comments) Publication date: 2008-08-19more

SalCan on "HELP! I've been made tech support against my will!!!"
Good ole Windows networking... Always fun to diagnose problems in XP...
I wouldn't rule out hardware issues. Most people don't just have a neat cable running from their modem to their router to their computer, there is usually a huge mess back there so the chance that a cable was damaged or loosened is always there.
Past that, I have had problems with XP's firewall and other features. Things like firewall and others can create problems when people start screwing around and not knowing what they are doing.
Basically, I have found that if you plug an ethernet cable with a working modem into your computer and you don't get internet within the first few seconds you have a good amount of detective work ahead of you. Publication date: 2008-08-19more

johnr on "RE: Feature: How to build and customize your own PBX with Asterisk"
That's true, and I believe I mentioned that in this article. The reason this article deals with compiling Asterisk is because when compiled from scratch, Asterisk (and most other software) runs much more efficiently because it is compiled for the environment and hardware that it was built on. My intention was to not review one of those "click and drool" packages, but to give the newcomer a starting point from which to <i>learn</i> how to compile and build Asterisk from sourcecode so that they can begin learning it's power and flexibility on a clean installation. One additional thing worth noting, is that in taking the build & compile approach, one gets to develop a more intimate understanding of the base environment and inner workings of the software so that if a problem ever should develop, fixing it would be increasingly more possible rather than just reinstalling. Since learning how to do this myself, at the cost of an initially more complicated install, I myself have cracked open the door to a world of possibilities that never before existed to me. With a precompiled/packaged solution like Trixbox or PBX in a Flash, etc - most of the decisions are made for you and you lose a lot of flexibility in being able to tweak the system to your own liking. Example: those packages have web GUIs that get VERY upset when you get in a jam and need to tweak a configuration file with a simple text editor like nano, vi, or pico. I've used PBX in a Flash, Trixbox, and A@H (Asterisk at Home) and I can say that none of those have run as lean or as stable as the version I've compiled. Plus, when Digium posts bugfixes by releasing a new version, updating is very simple and relatively painless and does not kill your configs or require you to "backup" your settings, etc. It's truly the best way to fly for a longer, painless term of ownership. Hope this helps shed some additional insight.

Not surprised if Penryn sells more than 2.5X faster than Nehalem, but would Atom sell 10Xas fast asNehalem (or 4x faster than Penryn)? I doubt it. So I would see a small volume of wafers dedicated to Atom or Nehalem in 2008-2009. Publication date: 2008-08-19more
Marishim on "RE: Review: LapDawg Laptop Stand"
I purchased one last year as my Xmas present to me. Upon adjusting a leg, you push a button on the side of them in to unlock it so it can be adjusted, the button stuck in and would not come out and lock the leg in place. Tried everything and ended up having to return it. I then purchased a second one, which I adjusted to where I wanted it and never moved the legs again fearing the same problem until I had to. And guess what...yup, a button stuck in. Of course this was a couple of weeks ago, and the warranty is long out on the item. I would *NOT* purchase one of these again. The sad thing is the rest of it is very sturdy and does the job above and beyond, but an obvious manufacturer defect exists in how the legs lock in place.

I will get customers with good IP addresses in Windows XP and/or Vista, all the settings I know to check are correct (Connections tab in IE, IPv4 settings in Network connections), but they will not be able to connect to the internet. If I can't help them, their next option is to call Microsoft, who will charge them for the pleasure.
What is happening? What can I try? Where can I go to find things to try? I'm willing to do some learning and studying on my own time, but bear in mind I don't want a career in this field and feel greatly underpaid forthe stress level of this job, so there are some limits to the personal time I have I'm willing to devote to learning about this.
Also, if a customer is not using a router, is directly connected to their modem, and is getting a bad IP address (192.xxx.xxx.xxx or 169.254.xxx.xxx), but their ethernet card is flashing, and I'm showing the modem online in good status with good signal, how can I best try to figure out over the phone what the source of the problem is? I know I'll never be able to diagnose it perfectly over the phone, but I'd like to be a lot better at this than I am. Since my employer doesn't want to be bothered helping me become better at this, please help me get better at this on my own.
I'm certain I'll have 5000 more questions as I go on.

I have a BS in Computer Sience from the 1980's. I want to use a low cost PC or mabe the little ASUS notebook as my own controller doing energy management and lighting control for my home. I need to be able to write my own software ( I can learn the most usable language - I have used Pasqual, Basic, 6500 and 8051 assembly, Fortran, Cobol and a few others popular in school in the 80's).I need to be able to control RS232 and USB ports at a minimum, have a usable graphics interface, real time clock access, keyboard and mouse I/O, disk storage file access at a minimim.... more would be nice if it doesn't overcomplicate the learning curve. Are there any software packages that run on a PC that offer this sort of environment that aren't so overly complex and the learnimg curve is not daunting? The XP or Vista PC or little ASUS running its linux notebook will be dedicated so this is the only primary application its being used for. It will be a dedicated controller that manages my Insteon and Lutron systems and more but I can develop the master control system that also controls both Insteon and Lutron ( litigating competitors) and future Zigbee products. Could anyone make suggestions on simple development platforms?

I've had similar experiences to tonyoung.
I ordered a white MSI Wind with XP from Play.com on the morning of the 7th August when it was showing as in stock, was surprised to see that at the end of 8th August it still had not been dispatched. Then on the morning of 9th August it was showing as 'account declined' on my account page on the Play.com website, so I cancelled the order.
I phoned their customer services to be told that that exact item was no longer stocked and they didn't know why, but I would have needed to talk to them on the phone to activate my account, and that's why they could not dispatch earlier. All hypothetical now, since I doubt the stock ever existed, and I suspect the need for a phone call was bogus: an excuse for taking an order on a non-existent item.
I have had similar experiences in the past with Nexus13 (who charged me after posting the wrong item, then took _AGES_ to refund me, and were rude and unhlelpful into the bargain).
And one time I tried to put together a PC from stock items at ebuyer.com, all showing in stock, but my delivery was missing several items.
I can't prove it, but I suspect that some (most?) net retailers fake stock levels to build up orders, and that's not just the MSI Wind. Someone should put forward a rating on this: who are the most believable / honest online sellers?
I'm about to head to PC WOrld for buy an Advent 4211, which from reviews on the Net seems to be almost identical to the Wind, and it's cheaper. Dont like buying from them, but at least you can have it in your hands before you part with your money!

silencio on "Re-installing OS without a floppy or CDROM Drive"
I just got one and wanted to see if there was a easier way to do it thenthrough a network. I don't think theres any other way. The problem isI don't think anyof you know what exactly this laptop is. Its what they call a rugged toughbook. It's whats in all the cop cars and most IT guys because you can poor water onto it and drop it a lot. The reason there are no cdrom drivesor floppy drivesis because this would make it more vulnerable to damage. So this means you have to buy an external drive to use any cd/dvd's on it. But generally these aren't for the average home user oroffice employee.Funny someone asked if it was from 1989 no 2004 and still would run you about $500-800 thats what I paid. New these things were over $3000. So one more time the only way is through a network and reason being these are usually set-up by a IT guy and installed into a vechile or given to someone to use for work purposes not to make a CD of you mp3's.

trainee on "RE: Review: Thinkpad and Lenovo 90W Slim AC/DC Combo Adapter"
Thanks for the quick response Sal. I found a forum post somewhere else saying it was 1lb 9.5oz with everything in the travel pouch. The main benefit here is that I charge in the car a lot and this unit has DC charging. I was about to buy the iGo everywhere85 before I found the Lenovo (which must be derived from the Kensington units). Even though this has a slightly higher travel weight than the iGo (everywhere85 travel weight is 1lb 4.8oz)this unit has a lot less wire mess. The iGo has the benefit of being able to charge low power items from dc sources without pulling out the brick, but I think the complexity of components outweighs that. Plus this has a higher power ratingthan the iGo which is (only rated at70W continuous) forlaptops that can benefit from faster charging on the 20V plug. Your review was exceptionally helpful, thanks again. Publication date: 2008-08-17more

I don't love the idea of sticking something to my laptop though. I know it's supposed to be easy to remove, but still not a great idea IMO. Plus seems gimmicky to me.

EsoomYale on "RE: US researchers manage to generate solar power at night"
Yes, I agree WhiteFlower. The possibilities are endless. Anything that produces heat can be used to generate power with this device - it just comes down to economics.
Can this technology be built into roads ? If so and powerlines are running next to the road (which they often do), then maybe the road could generate electricity and feed this into the grid.
I was thinking ahead as well - if these devices cover our buildings, roofs, roads, etc then they are effectively taking heat out of the environment (and turning this into electricity), so our world could start getting cooler (if this technology becomes wide-spread enough). Maybe this could help reduce any warming trends ...
Then again, maybe I'm starting to believe in Atlantis as well, like good old Dave. ;) Publication date: 2008-08-15more

iPhone is so powerful and popular, but the pity is that it do not support ringtone customization, users can not convert audio to iPhone ringtone but have to buy ringtone from iTunes store. Fortunately I found an easy approach to customize iPhone ringtone and sync ringtone to iPhone without iTunes for free, here is the step by step guide:
You can also click the original iPhone ringtone guide to learn it intuitively
The tools you need are Aimersoft iPhone Converter Suite and iPhone PC Suite(free), download links are as following:Aimersoft iPhone Converter Suite:http://download.aimersoft.com/aimer-iphone-suite.exe

iPhone PC Suite is a totally free green software, but Aimersoft iPhone Converter Suite cost $39, while the publisher is now holding buy 1 get one free campaign and you can own it with $29 till Aug, 31th. I think it worth the money as buying ringtones costs more and even can not get your favorite ones.
The iPhone ringtone guide is composed of 3 parts:1 How to extract audio to ringtone from DVD?2 How convert audio and video to iPhone ringtone?3 How to sync ringtone to iPhone without iTunes
Part 1 How to extract audio to iPhone ringtone from DVD?
1. Install Aimersoft iPhone Converter Suite and run it. For Windows Vista user, you may have to run this program as Administrator, right click the program shortcut and click "Run as Administrator".2. Run the DVD to iPhone Converter, load your DVD by clicking "Load DVD" button, you also can load IFO file from your hard drive by clicking "Load File" button.
3 Click drop down list and select iPhone supported format (AAC, MP3, WAV, etc.) you want:
You can also customize the sample rate, bit rate and other parameters of your iPhone ringtone by click "setting"
To extract a clip from DVD to iPhone ringtone, you can click button "trim", set the start time and end time.
Then click "Start" to extract iPhone ringtone from you DVD, Done.
2 How to convert audio and video to iPhone ringtone?Start Aimersoft iPhone Video Converter, then click "Add" button to load video file which you want to extract iPhone ringtone from(You can also load audio file to convert music to iPhone ringtone).
Click drop down list and select iPhone supported format (AAC, MP3, WAV, etc.) you want:
The operation is similar as extracting iPhone audio from DVD with DVD to iPhone Converter, set sample rate, bit rate and other parameters of your iPhone ringtone by click "setting"
Most users' iPhone ringtone are always short, so you may want to convert a clip from movie to set as ringtone. Click button "trim" to set the start and end point of your iPhone ringtone.
Then click "Start" to convert a clip to iPhone ringtone from you movies or songs.
How to sync ringtone to iPhone without iTunes?
There are also some other ways to convert audio to iPhone ringtone and sync it to iPhone with iTunes, but I think these are a little complicated and users may be at a loss with such ways.Here I recommend iPhone PC Suite, an almighty iPhone manager that can let you manage phone book, software, media and other files between iPhone and computer without iTunes easily. .But before use this tool, make sure your iTunes installed and has been connected with iPhone once before (Then you will never need not run iTunes when you use iPhone PC Suite to manage your iPhone).And when the first time you connecting iPhone, it will install PhoneDaemon on your iPhone, don't worry it is green software and will do nothing harm.
The default language of iPhone PC Suite is Chinese simplified. To change it, find the folder" LangPack" under the extracted folder, delete "zh-CN.lang" and "zh-TW.lang". (There is still Chinese when initializing, but after that it will be fine).
Now it will show you how to sync the converted iPhone ringtone to iPhone without iTunes.Connect you iPhone to computer, double click" iPhone PC Suite" to start iPhone PC Suite, the program will scan you iPhone automatically for a short while. Then click button "Personal" on the main menu, select "ringtone".
Click "New Ringtone" to locate the converted iPhone ringtone,
Select your target iPhone ringtone, then it will upload the ringtone to iPhone automatically.
You can also manage your ringtone with it, like rename, delete, export. iPhone will sync with it automatically.
Then you can select your favorite audio file and set it as your iPhone ringtone on iPhone. Click "setting"->"Sound"->"Ringtone", the converted ringtone is listed on column "Customize". Now you can enjoy the fun of your unique iPhone ringtone!
This free iPhone PC Suite also has other powerful functions, we will share them later.

My computer started freezing especially when I was playing games. I did a viru scan but it didn't work. I decided to re-load XP. Unfortunately I loaded the XP while on Windiws. The CD loaded some programes and whn I restrated tWindows it gave me a window where it needs my password which I don't know as I have never used a Password option. Te advise I got was to re-install windows XP which I did by rebooting with a CD. The computer freezes when loading drivers. I tried it seeral times but it just froze on that scree. My question is how can I reload XP without the PC freezing. I tried ejecting the CD and loading it again but it never helped. Sakhala

potterfan82 on "Where did my desktop icons go in Vista?"
Ok....I just got a new laptop that's running Vista Premium. I noticed..not immediately, but after I had saved something to my desktop and then it was not there, that I didn't have any icons on my desktop. I checked "MY Computer" and saw the file listed as if it was on the desktop.
I right clicked and saw that the "show desktop icons" was already checkmarked.
In frustration, I unchecked the "show desktop icons", and then re-selected it, and magically my icons appeared.
I now have to do this every time the computer restarts.
As the OS boots I do see a flash of my icons for a spit second, but then they go away...
If anyone can help me figure out what is up with this, I'd appreciate it.

For example, Microsoft provided a Firefox plug-in to let Windows Media files play directly in that browser. Microsoft Silverlight works with IE, Firefox, and Safari (sometimes). It works on the Mac too. I was just watching some Olympic video clips from NBCOlympics.com on a Mac using Firefox with the Silverlight plugin. Microsoft Live Skydrive works with Firefox although it doesn't have the drag-and-drop upload feature available in IE (you can upload using Firefox, it is just not as pretty).

EsoomYale on "RE: In-car Microwave lets you create hot meals on the road"
At 90 UK pounds, it is about the same price as a separate inverter (50 UK pounds approx) and standard kitchen microwave (40 UK pounds approx for a cheap one). I'd rather have the items separate - so I could also run other things and so I can swap microwaves, etc when I wanted / needed.
However, this device seems to win in terms of convenience and compactness.
If you are carting a microwave around, and using it well away from shops / supermarkets, then you probably need to stock up with food and this may mean getting a small fridge as well.
These devices could put a hell of a load on a car battery. I'd advise either having a special, separate heavy dury battery and/or disconnecting the battery from the car so that any in-car computers, etc aren't at risk if something goes wrong. Publication date: 2008-08-14more

As for the taxi driver, was it in New York? Because those guys are amazing there, I'd be worried elsewhere.
Lastly, the police. It absolutely mind blowing the amount of laws that the police enjoy enforcing but do not follow themselves. I've ridden in a state trooper car (front seat; my car broke down), and he didn't wear his seatbelt, though he lectured me to make sure I wear my own.

My December '99 Cybermax PIII 500 is still running. (only replaced it as my main PC 2 years ago.) I opted for the S3 Savage video option. I think I once had to replace the power supply. The built in backup partition thing didn't help when the system went down, but that was my only serious problem. Upgraded the Ram to 384 and put in a cd burner and USB 2.0. Put a SCSI controller in there for extra HDs. Had some trouble upgrading to XP with the Biostar M6TBA motherboard, but eventually got it worked out. Subsequent XP installs were flawless. When I got a new machine in '06, my brother took the Cybermax and used it as a media serverwith Ubnutu Linux and XP. This machine was a work horse, and it was the mostbang for the buck at the time.Never regretted going with Cybermax. Just felt bad when I heard it went out of business. (still have the mouse pad)
Oh, and the 19inch monitor I got from them lasted about 3 years before it started getting flickery, could have repaired it, but people were giving away 19inch CRTs at that point and now I have 2 extras just sitting in my basement. Publication date: 2008-08-14more

It all looked wrong, so I checked with the source of the data. Indeed...
Google sais:
"Is the data normalized? Yes. All the results in Google Insights for Search are normalized, which means that we've divided the sets of data by a common variable to cancel out the variable's effect on the data. Doing so allows the underlying characteristics of the data sets to be compared. If we didn't normalize the results and displayed the absolute rankings instead, data from regions generating the most search volume would always be ranked high."
Clearly, characterizations like "massive amount of hits all over the country" are silly in the given context. Similarly, you can bet your whatever that the three top states for Geek.com ARE NOT Oregon, Alabama, and Washington---they only have <i>the higher percent of locally originatd searches</i> for “Geeks.com” as compared to that same searches coming from, say, California.

He should go to dog shows and chose his breed and talk to the breeders there if they have any puppies available. It should have a written health guarantee. My favorite breed is the yorkshire terrier--I don't care that McCain has them too. Yorkies are the best!!!!

The Long Term Performance of InnoDB
The InnoDB storage engine has
done wonders for MySQL users that
needed higher concurrency than MyISAM could provide for demanding web
applications. And the automatic crash recovery is a real bonus
too.
But InnoDB's performance (in terms of concurrency, not really raw
speed) comes at a cost: disk space. The technique for achieving
this, multiversion
concurrency control, can chew up a lot of space. In fact, that
Wikipedia article says:
The obvious drawback to this system is the cost of storing
multiple versions of objects in the database. On the other hand reads
are never blocked, which can be important for workloads mostly
involving reading values from the database.
Indeed.
Imagine a set of database tables will tens of millions of rows and
a non-trivial amount of churn (new records coming in and old ones being
expired or removed all the time). You might see this in something
like a large classifieds site,
for example.
Furthermore imagine that you're using master-slave replication and
the majority of reads hit the slaves. And some of those slaves are
specifically used for longer running queries. It turns out that the
combination of versioning, heavy churn, and long running queries can
lead to a substantial difference in the size of a given InnoDB data
file (.ibd) on disk.
Just how much of a difference are we talking about? Easily a
factor of 4-5x or more. And when you're dealing with hundreds of
gigabytes, that starts to add up!
It's no secret that InnoDB isn't the best choice for data warehouse
looking applications. But the disk bloat, fragmentation, and ongoing
degradation in performance may be an argument for having some slaves
that keep the same data in MyISAM tables.
I know, I know. I can do the ALTER TABLE trick to make InnoDB
shrink the table by copying all the rows to a new one, but that does
take time. Using InnoDB is definitely not a use it and forget about
it choice--but what database engine is, really?.
Looking at the documentation
for the InnoDB plug-in, I expect to see a real reduction in I/O
when using the new indexes and compression on a data set like this.
(Others
sure have.) But I don't yet have a sense of how stable it
is.
Anyone out there in blog-land have much experience with it? (comments) Publication date: 2008-08-13more
MoMan on "Looking for a little guidance"
Hey there,
This is my first time posting on this site and I'm hoping I can get some advice. First I would like to provide a little history which you can choose not to read by skipping the following paragraph.
Back in high-school I used to have a thing for computers and I was just beginning to learn a few semi-advanced subjects through friends and a class or two. Halfway through my high-school career I switched schools and that's when my technological education stopped due to a lack of classes catered to the subject and not having people around interested in it. I learned my way around the Mac and Windows OS' to a sufficient degree where I could solve mundane issues by myself. That pretty much takes us to the present where I find myself in the workforce in a non-IT position. Not that interesting but I just thought it appropriate to share.
Now to the issue at hand: I would like to further my technological expertise from a beginner/intermediate level to an advanced one. I attempted to look online for a resource that would be of help but came up short. I'm looking for any online resource or perhaps paperback reading material that could be of help. I would like to initially be competent in both software and hardware issues and move on in knowledge to eventually being able to program and perhaps creating/modifying hardware. This is not for any professional use, just for self-satisfaction. If anyone could provide links to good sites to visit to monitor the tech pulse and stay updated it would be much appreciated.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to any suggestions. Feel free to ask any follow-up questions and maybe I'll try to update this post with a progressreport. Publication date: 2008-08-13more
heggenhougen on "RE: Rambus accuses Nvidia of 17 memory patent infringements"
Rambus is an IP compnay and not a patent company. They's interestedve made some very revolutionary inventions and a lot of companies have just taken these inventions and incorporated these into their own products. Nvidia is one of these companies. Nvidia nor it's customers should be surprised when rambus after exsausting all possibilities to get paid finally sues Nvidia. This will indeed get insanely expensive but when you steal you should pay the price.
The very best move Nvidea could make at this stage is to settle with Rambus and move on making great products. I am sure their shareholders are not to happy finding out that they for years have been robbing the bank (Rambus) - we have laws against that.
They make their own bed like everyone else - for those who's interested I'd reccomend Rambus.org for lots of details. Publication date: 2008-08-13more

cheney on "An awesome free browser-based MMORPG"
PKVE announced the launch of a new server (Taurus) for their browser-based MMO castle-building game The Legacy of Holy Castle. Along with the new server launch, there are several new events coming. The game is fairly new, just released on June 2008. There are over 100,000 people now playing this game. Thats an amazing number of players in such a short time. I am playing the game and like it very much! It's really a good way to kill time and spark my mind. I am one for the Top 10 Heroes in the tournaments. Welcome to challenging me, my char name is Wolf, click here to join http://holy.pkve.com/index.jsp?ref=205
Review of The Legacy of the Holy Castle
Well first of all i am an fan of strategies games and real time browser games. I been playing a many browser and strategies games in the internet for years like 5 years i guess. I been searching for games that just a castle and a hero that protects it. I have games which are LAN games like the The Legacy of the Holy Castle. I find out this game (The Legacy of the Holy Castle) in other game (godsoftime), so in short I register right way and read the guides, so eventually i stop all my other online games and concentrate playing this game. The best part of game is the adventure quest were your heroes fight and get items, gold, wood. Well for me without it, this game is just other ordinary game that I have or had played for years. Because i am a fun of movie and in movies heroes are great, without heroes troops well just become a ordinary troops, even how strong the troops are, without a leader to led they will be nothing and can be easily crush and destroyed. For me the best defense and attack troops are Hoplite and archer, well i got this from the movie the gladiator (not really show in the movie, but i had this game, Rome Total War), the hoplite well in Rome units they called Legionnaire. Legionnaire are the strongest and most feared units well i think. more like in the movie 300 were the troops are composed of 300 hoplite and crush many troops and with a good leader or a hero and a king.

rampman10 on "bad pool header"
I have been dealing with this problem for months. I even got my previous vista machine replaced under warranty because it kept happening. This is a serious Vista/AOL conflict. And now it is happening with my new, my brand new vista machine.
The only fix I can find is to do a system restore, but the previous poster is right. It will be back in a few days or a week.
We need to get AOL and Microsoft to start working on this immediately. Does anyone have a support agreement with Microsoft? I don't want to pay $60 for them to fix this bug when they should be fixing it already. I have been sending problem reports to MS for months and they still do not have a fix. What a load of bull. I thought the problem reporting in vista was supposed to take care of problems like this. If you try to contact someone at aolo you get India online and they are no help. They just tell you to reinstall AOL which as reported above, does not help.
Can anyone get this reported to AOL and MS to someone who will actually do something? When this happened to me earlier this year I was the only one, now it looks like more people are having problems. We need to get this fixed.

kaigarabushi on "Change CPU to test another CPU and system dies"
Prior to substituting a cpu I removed one cpu in a two cpu opteron server. Initially the system would not display with only one cpu - which I thought was odd however on removal of the power plug and re powering it displayed ok with one cpu as you would expect. However on replacing the original cpu with one that I wanted to test the system would not display. It has since failed to display with the original cpu's . In my experience the system will usually give an error beeping on a faulty cpu but will perform normally when the original cpu is restored. There isnt normally a catastrophic failure of the motherboard. For a system to fail totally like this I find extremely unusual.

Start Audacity, or Sound Recorder. Adjust (if you can)the recording level of the microphone while the5012B is outputting audio so it's not too loud;-and- make sure your "Audio In" is set to "Microphone"

SalCan on "New system build. Thoughts please."
Very solid rig! I'm actually building a new desktop up too, so it's great to see what you have put together. It'll be an article soon so all the details will be out : )
Regarding yours, it's looking like you are going to have a lot of power. 4GB with that E8500 should really rock. For that $280 for the E8500 I would have gone with the Q6600, but if you don't need quad core I think you probably made the right decision.
Right on with the 4870, that's a great card.
My main difference is going to be the motherboard- X48 is solid, but I'm going P45 to save some cash. I don't need dual video cards or anything really top-shelf. I'll have DDR3 too...
Tell us how it turns out! Publication date: 2008-08-11more
Racerboyf1 on "New system build. Thoughts please."
Thanks for the input. I actually got the E8500 for $189.00 @ newegg. I can always go quad later.

I don't think the goverment of China did promise a censor-free internet. I thought they said they'd allow people access to what wasneeded to report on and watch the Olympics, which they believe they don't need full access to the web to do so.

JavaManOne on "Which is the Best Free Antivirus?"
No Free Lunch with Avast.
I had Avast installed and today it claimed to have caught the nasty virus "Antivirus XP 2008" and told me to place it in the chest.
Nothing happened to the virus it kept working.
I then restored to a point the previous day and the virus was gone.
Next I decided to uninstall Avast. I Googled "unintall Avast" and had to download an executable uninstall program to my desktop, reboot in safe mode and run the uninstall. Too much of a hassle for something as unreliable. Of course it was "free."
I downloaded, then purchased Enigma's SpyHunter before my restore, ran two scans and ran remove on the same virus and it didn't remove a thing. I have requested a refund from Enigma. With SpyHunter the software was free until you needed to remove a virus and in my case the virus did not leave.
The whole process was an Enigma, Indeed! Publication date: 2008-08-11more

johntmosher on "External USB hard drive no longer shows up in My Computer, nor in Disk Managemen"
Just for quick fun why don't you try it in another computer first and see if you get the same problem there. I have a USB hard drive that I only turn on when I want to add more files to it. This means I have probably had it in the "on" position for about ten to twenty hours. My main reasoning is that I don't want it to get fried in power surges or lightning strikes.If your USB drive is always on check it for temps first. If it feels warm then leave it off for several hours before trying it on another computer. If you get access to the data try to save those critical files first (Just in case this is a heat issue)
Let's see what the real geeks say when they get back from vacation.
Good luck Publication date: 2008-08-11more
bayoffundy on "External USB hard drive no longer shows up in My Computer, nor in Disk Managemen"
Thanks for the tip... but I have tried it on both my laptop and my desktop. Same thing happens with both computers.
There doesn't seem to be any heat issue. I only use it a few minutes at a time, generally. I have, in the past, used it for an hour or two, but it never got very warm. Publication date: 2008-08-11more

Bahbus on "RE: Verizon Wireless leads in customer loyalty, again"
I don't know what your talking about with the horrible customer service. Verizon Wireless ranks a very close 2nd to T-Mobile. Which is fine, because aside from their customer service, their stuff sucks. As far as customer satisfation, Verizon wins in 4 of the 6 regions of the US.
Anywho, I like the operating system. It provides at least a familiarity between completely different phones. It does what it needs to do. Can I load my LG with my own software? No, but is there anything I really <i>need</i> to add to it? No. Publication date: 2008-08-10more

Does this mean only the smart criminals will be using gloves and lab coats when messing with ammunition?
What about people who reload their own ammo? Will the bullets themselves come with the pollen or is it only for the fully manufactured cartridges? How about people who cast their own bullets?

kev_a_swing_dancer on "RE: Verizon Wireless leads in customer loyalty, again"
Right, the only reason we get ourselves involved with Verizion Wireless is the hours we can travel through the less populated parts of the country and not only have service, but hold onto the same call for an hour or more.
On the dark side, they replace the excellent operating systems on all the phones with theirs, rendering even the phone book nearly useless (they remain the only company that a) doesn't have a "phone" designation, for when you don't know whether the number is home, work or mobile, and b) the only provider I've found where you can't change the type of a number that's been added (e.g. changing "phone" to "mobile" or "home"). Of course, Palm Treos and the like don't have that problem. Publication date: 2008-08-10more

spintz on "RE: Verizon Wireless leads in customer loyalty, again"
Phew, this is just based on this "churn". If Customer Service had any part in this, Verizon Wireless would be at the bottom. People stay with them for technical reason (the network is good), their calling plans and customer support are terrible. But we don't care about that as much as we just want a working cell phone.

This means nothing really...
The Dewey Cox Story was the first disc to use BD-Live and the extras sucked (the interface is slow, and the extra features pretty much consisted of a few trailers and some crappy SD content that shouldn't have been made available in the first place (they call it the cutting room floor for a reason)).

GK27V6 on "RE: It's true, Macs are double the price of PCs"
I dislike this article for multiple reasons: One, it's obvioulsy biased. Second, all this article really tells us is we get what we pay for: "...everything that Apple produces is made with high-quality components and even higher-quality design..." I saw the actual values for the average price of a Mac PC and a Windows PC on another website, and it does indeed show that Windows-based PCs are about half. However, this includes ALL Macs, and ALL Windows-PCs. So what the average means is the little 7" laptops for under $4-500 as well as the $200 lower quality system units (no monitor, mouse, speakers, etc.) are included. Apple does not produce such products. One thing I do like about this article is that I do agree that the Air is waaay too exspensive, otherwise I would've got myself one.
Now for my personal experience:
I used to work with Windows machines since I've heard about computers up until literally two days ago when I got myself the cheapest MacBook I could buy (I'm seventeen so I gotta save the $$ for university) and it's amazing. I don't wanna sound like an Apple fanboy (and this currently is the only Apple product I own) but Macs are not all that exspensive. My main reason for not buying one up until now was exactly because of the price, but I did some research and found out that I do get what I pay for. I looked at all the (useful) features of the Mac OS and all the (useful) features of the Vista OS and found that Mac does it for me (but before my post triggers a Windows vs. Mac flame war, I do wanna say they both do have advantages to different people wanting to do different things with computers). Then, just a personal thing, it's BEAUTIFUL! I love how the outside of the computer is so simple and all white, I find that great. Publication date: 2008-08-09more

Frogman on "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)..."
I would greatly appreciate some help please.
I have a Tecrea M3 which has just had a clean instal/ of Win XP Pro with all drivers from the Toshiba website. It is currently running BIOS 1.5 with Nvidia GeForce GE TE 6200 with driver version 71.36 again fom the Toshiba site. When I originally tried to install the drivers for the Video Controller (Nvidia) it crashes midway with the BSOD and will only reboot is safe mode with all the boot DOS/BIOS text corrupt. Once in Windows SAFE mode the graphics are fine. If i install the Nvidia driver in safe mode all seems well but will occassionally crash on boot up with the BSOD again and the corrupt boot DOS/BIOS text. If i disable the Video Controller the boot corruption erors and BSOD issue seems to dissapear ?
Having reviewed several forums there is some conflict on what the issue is. Does this seem like a video chip hardware fault on the motherboard or is it software related ? There seems to be an issue with Nvidia video chips on these boards frying due to overheating ?
Any thoughts or comments would be welcome. Publication date: 2008-08-09more

ScarrowandSkellow on "A lesson to take home...(Diablo III)"
To the people who petitioned to change the art style: The main failing of fanboys (Being a Blizzard fanboy myself) is the assumption that the games that we wish to see improvements on will not change or evolve when these sought after improvements are brought to the board. It is impossible not to expect that there will be art changes in the game, especially since that the era that the game was made in was one of low gamma counts and high gore levels. Personally I found the art from the first game to be way to dark and I remember having a hard time seeing all seperate enemies instead of one dark mass. You have to remember, this game was only played in your best friends basement on a 52k connection while eating doritos and laughing at the stuff on newgrounds. I think many of the people who played Diablo 2 new and appreciated this fact. They took Diablo 2 for what it was; it was the nerdiest game ever. Seeing as only 53,000 out of 4 million disagreed with this art concept (4 million copies sold according to wikipedia) I don't see the harm in moving forward with it. The important thing to take from this is the lesson that video game sequels shouldn't actually be called sequels (unless they are expansion packs). They are entirely different games with different conepts, different gameplay, different directions, and, in this case, different art. They are there own entities. If the 53,000 people who signed that petition want a game with a dark and grungy art style I know a great game title for you. It's a little number that Blizzard likes to call Dialbo 2.

addisa on "RE: It's true, Macs are double the price of PCs"
This article is seriously biased and unresearched. Before posting an article such as this, I would do some personal research on my own, also I like to have refering articles cited and linked in an article bashing something please. I have used Mac's and PC's for some time now and I have found them similarly priced for the equipment. For example, my latest Macbook Pro purchase, I needed a high end laptop for some graphic work. I researched Dell, IBM, Sony, Toshiba, and other manufacturers. The fact was, the PC equivelant for the Mac's specifications were similar or even higher in some cases. Now, this is my personal experience in researching pricing. In my research, all laptops were 100-200 dollars
I also found that you get more bang for your buck with Mac software. The office versions of Mac often have a smaller price but offer more product. For example, Office Student & Teacher for Mac 2008 gives you Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Entourage(Outlook). The PC version gives you Word, Excel, Powerpoint and OneNote (which I have never found a use for personally). I would much rather have Outlook as a student to organize my tasks, keep up my calendar for homework and such instead of OneNote which I might never use. The other versions have similar quirks.
Also, the iWork suite for 79.99 offers a basic replacement for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint for half the cost.
Having to use both PC's and Macs in my personal and business life as an IT professional, I think they both have their positives and negatives regarding design, functionality, and usability which is entirely another article, but as far as price is concerned, they are pretty similar in my opinion.

tjack on "RE: It's true, Macs are double the price of PCs"
I love it! If an article states something that is not glowing about Apple, every fanboy in existence jumps up and claims "biased"! Please prove this by refering to the "biased" portions of the article with details as to why they represent "bias." Or perhaps you meant to say "I disagree" instead of "it's biased".
The simple fact is that a computer is just an appliance used to get work done. If some people feel that the extra cost of a Mac provides value to them, fine! If they feel the price is too high, fine! Or maybe they go all the way to Linux. That's fine too. Let's keep the fanboy stuff out of it. Publication date: 2008-08-09more

stevemc on "RE: Time Warner to charge for excessive cable bandwidth"
OK, for starters I have a family member who works for TWC and after reading the posts here, I do have some comments in support of their company and products.
1.) It is my understanding from their customer service,that there are now 4 tiers ( versions)of the RR product. This is to first ensure that the subsc&triber is only paying for the RR version that suites their use on the internet.
RR lite is the " entry level user's" its only786k down, but currently offered at about $15-20 per month.
rr basic is the dsl standard @ 1.5 down and is a reasonable $26.95, I have had dsl before twc/ rr and paid no less than $ 40 mo for this spd w/ at&t!
rr standard is over 6 times faster than basic @ $40 a month for 7mg down.
then the one that started all this fuss....the new rr turbo
turbo is about $55 per month with a whopping 15mgs down, and I have experienced spdsas much as 800kb up with this version recommended by my family because I run a home business for web design and also do custom computer builds/ upgrades.
Secondly, You are only charged the rate based on your request for that service. You can also request downgrade to their other versions if your use or most imortantly...your budget changes. I have had to do that once in the last year since turbo was launched.
In ESSENCE THE QUOTE " you get what you pay for."
As for technical and speed issues w/ twc, as a degreed IT tech with over 16 years experience in the industry, I can also say there are " owner contributed issues" that can also cause these woes.
1.) yourcomputer's processor spd and ram may not meet twc/rr minimal requirements. This... believe it or not can effect your downloads and browsing.
2.) Pages cannot display? Are you using a router? Unplug the modem and if applicable, the router each for up to 45-60 seconds, plug back in, restart computer and see if that doesn't cure it. 8-10 times i've experienced this it was because my routers ip address timed out(i own my router and not provided by twc)
3.)If you are missing the ability to see certain websites, but can still browse most others, this as I understand is the end- user for that site or sites server issues,not rr...or you need to check and re-adjust your browsing settings on your microsoft security tools under internet options.
4.) The only real issue I think all of us have right now is $ and lack of it because of gas prices, everyone's having to pinch from somewhere, and like I said previously I am even guilty of having to do this in the " entertainment budget." So I went back down to rr standard for now.
5.)In the end, some others start shopping and looking into the dsl/ satellite competitors... I've been there too, ended up paying for service calls (twc does not charge for reapir calls) YOU COULD NOT SERIOUSLY PAY ME TO GO BACK TO DISH!
I PAY TWC $160MO FOR ALL 3 SERVICES DP,RR, AND 2 DVRS. I'M NOT HAVING TO PAY AT& T OR SPRINT FOR MY OUT OF STATE CALLS, IT'S ALL ON ONE BILL. That's about $47 for each.
What does aggravate me is twc's billing. 2 notes...
They bill you a month ahead ie, if your bill comes in august, you're getting billed for september's service dates, etc. etc. that causes prorate of either a credit or " partial months service charges depending on if you remove, or add a new service during the middle of your billing cycle in reatime. Took a rep 30 minutes to help me understand it, but I got it.
Lastly, My bill did increase after my first year without my making changes and that was because the $39.99 offers is a promotion/ introductory rate. It only went up about $15 more, enough for me to question there CS.
I understood this as explained by one of their reps, but it would have been nice if they advertise introductory term of 12 months, or their reps should be better educated to mention that to a new customer.
In closing, the other thing twc does have going in a positive for them is they don't have you sign a contract you're always free to disconnect. Enjoy your dish contract with lousy reception and $60 repair calls.

Jazzman13 on "Director Player 6.0 error - need at least 3 MB virtual memory to run the program"
Hi, I was just reading this and thought I should register just to leave some info. First off, yes the internet is a bad place if you don't know what your doing. Secondly, P2P programs for say, themselves, are not bad. Limewire won't download crap onto your computer just by downloading and installing the program, it is the crap you "think" your downloading using their program. So, what I am trying to say it's coming from the peer or who ever you are downloading from that will give you viruses, malware, etc. Not the program itself.
So, if you do decide to use a P2P program, which they are great don't get me wrong, i suggest you keep a look out for some things. First thing you should do when downloading anything, look at the size of the file. If it is in the KB and it is going to be like a song or program, don't dare try it. Always look at the size and take a good estimate on how big it should be. Secondly, watch as it downloads, if it starts downloading super fast, even if you have Cable/DSL, cancle it right away. Thirdly, if you are downloading music or movies, test it before you finish downloading it. If it can't play, cancel it, this always helps to make sure you aren't downloading a crappy version.
Well, that is all I had to basically say, hope those helped some people out a bit. Publication date: 2008-08-09more
dragonegg on "RE: It's true, Macs are double the price of PCs"
I think Macs are superior in quality but PCs are cheaper. Many years back, some may remember Commodore released a computer line called the Amiga that had abilities that outshined its competitors at the time. Great product that sported great games and excellent graphics and music software. unfortuneately, it was expensive and PCs at the time were avaiable at a fraction of the cost but did much less. Consumers chose price over quality. Now PCs have dominated the market. I'm seeing the same occur with Macs. Their great machines, but they are too expensive and consumers will continue to choose price over quality. What is saving Apple right now is diversification (ipod, iphone, etc.). The computer line will only survive if Apple reduces their prices. I can only see Apple trying to use more PC like parts to have access to cheaper mass produced hardware to help reduce prices. So in the end, it may just come down to Mac OS versus Windows. Publication date: 2008-08-09more
seawolf1957 on "Is there any good software?"
Well, it seems to me there IS a good DVD ripping software still available since I use it, and you should get it for free. If a website is trying to get you to pay for it, it's a rip off. You can still get this although they are not making new versions. It de-encrypts the encryption on your DVD, and for a DVD of 10GB or less, shrinks it down to =/< 4.7 GB, so you can burn it, although burning mainly works if you have Nero. The name of this software is "DVD Shrink" and you cannot download it from any site in the U.S. because if is "officially" illegal to host it in this country. The way I was able to get it, about two months ago, was, I went to www.pcworld.com and searched for it in the search bar. There were a whole bunch of results where you needed to pay (and some of these are loaded with spyware, I'll bet). But, I remember, you search around for a result where you get a forum and inside this forum you can find a download website. Sorry I don't remember just which one.....
